If you choose fresh, raw beetroot, you have various preparation options. Although you can cook the red tubers, it is not essential. The key advantage of eating raw beetroot is that it retains all the healthy nutrients that could be partially lost through cooking.
Our tip: Cut raw beets into thin strips and mix them with crumbled feta cheese, chopped walnuts and fresh herbs such as parsley or coriander. Drizzle the salad with a dressing made from olive oil, lemon juice and honey for a fresh and aromatic treat. Or combine raw beets with other fruits like apples, oranges and ginger to make a refreshing smoothie. The natural sweetness of the fruit harmonizes wonderfully with the earthy taste of the beetroot and provides you with a concentrated load of vitamins and antioxidants.
No matter which preparation method you choose, raw beetroot offers an excellent opportunity to benefit from the health benefits of this versatile vegetable without having to miss out on the full enjoyment.
