You've probably seen advertisements for "miracle berries," "magic seeds," and other exotic products with a price tag like gold.
But what if I told you that the most powerful superfood is already in your fridge and it costs pennies? I'm talking about... ordinary beets.
Yes, yes, the same one you use to make borscht. Scientists have long proven that its composition is not inferior to the trendy acai or goji.
Antioxidants, iron, B vitamins — the humble root vegetable has it all. But how do you turn it into a health “bomb”?
The secret is in the raw form. Grated beetroot with apple and walnut is not just a salad, but a boost of energy for the whole day.
And if you squeeze the juice out of it and mix it with carrot juice, you get a drink that cleanses blood vessels better than any detox cocktail.
But there is a nuance: beets love company. Their iron is absorbed only with vitamin C, so add lemon juice or bell pepper. Another life hack is to bake beets in foil.
This way it retains maximum benefits and acquires a sweetish taste that will win over even children. Stop overpaying for overseas products - your health is already growing in the garden under your feet.
