Beetroot Halwa my way!!

Beetroot is mostly an ignored vegetable by most people, might be due to its taste. Most of the kids, even adults hesitate to eat preparations made of Beetroot. But I must say it is highly nutritive & today, I am very much determined in sharing the nutritional value of Beetroot so that we do not miss a great source of nutrition in our diet. Please include beetroot on weekly basis in your diet.

Beetroot contains folate, potassium and manganese. The green leafy tops are highly nutritious as they contain calcium, beta-carotene and iron. The red pigmentation of Beetroot contains some anti-cancer elements and hence have been used to treat cancer too. This is one of a kind vegetable which contains high nutritional value and less calories.
