Beetroot

"Just beet it, beet it, beet it" is singing in our brains when we choose a nice, medium-sized beet with vibrant, glossy green leaves. They're antioxidant rich, and have iron, vitamins A, C and calcium. Some suggest beets improve memory, reduce blood pressure, and increase energy.

Beets adds a mild, earthy flavour and become quite sweet when cooked. 

Beetroot are usually grown in cool mountain regions of Australia. Types include table beet, garden beet, red or golden beet.

• Freshest in autumn, summer, spring.
• Good for boiling, grilling, grating, juicing, roasting, salads and soups. 
• Store in fridge in a perforated plastic bag in the vegetable crisper. Remove green leaves to reduce moisture loss.
