Which beetroot is healthier: boiled or raw
Raw beets contain more betaine, anthocyanin and fiber, making them more beneficial for those with excess weight, diabetes, hypertension and liver disease.
Raw beets also contain iodine and calcium and potassium salts, which have a positive effect on blood composition, hemoglobin transport, protein absorption, liver and thyroid function, metabolism, and the condition of capillaries and blood vessels.
Boiled beets contain fewer fruit acids that irritate the intestines, so they are preferable for diseases of the digestive organs.
To preserve the maximum amount of nutrients, beets should be boiled in their skins for no longer than 20 minutes.
