Why Golden Beets?

Golden beets are a bit harder to find than red beets, but their sweet, mild flavor is well worth seeking out! They have a much milder beet flavor than red beets, and they are power-packed by the living God with vitamins and minerals.

Golden beets are high in folic acid, iron, fiber, and potassium. Like other orange and yellow fruits and vegetables, they are also packed with vitamin A, antioxidants, vitamin C, lycopene, beta-carotene, and zeaxanthin. Here are some of the benefits:

• Lowers risk of heart disease
• Cleanses kidneys and body
• Lowers blood pressure and cholesterol
• Treats fatigue and anemia
• Boosts immune system
• Helps prevent cancer

You can’t beet 🙂 all these vitamins, nutrients, and powerful antioxidants!
