Some people are prejudiced against classical cuisine, considering it unhealthy.

However, this is not the case.

Many popular dishes are quite healthy. Borscht is a good example.

What are the benefits of this type of soup?

First of all, it is important to note the high concentration of fresh vegetables in the soup. This is not only a source of valuable fiber, but also a simple and affordable way to get a lot of vitamins and microelements.

However, it is important to understand that borscht can be harmful due to culinary mistakes.

For example, you shouldn't make the broth too fatty. You also shouldn't add too much vegetable oil.

Experts also note that borscht can be made healthier by adding fresh herbs and garlic to the soup.

But lard should be added in limited quantities if you are making soup with fatty meat broth. Also, if possible, it is worth adding less potatoes or even omitting them altogether.
