A simple and tasty recipe to fill up on vitamins and mineral salts
Red beetroot is a food rich in fiber, vitamins and mineral salts, composed of 91% water and therefore excellent for fighting water retention and promoting a sense of satiety, all with a very low calorie intake, approximately 43 calories per 100g of cooked product.
The fibers present in beetroot help the intestine and contribute to keeping blood cholesterol levels under control, while mineral salts including iron, potassium and magnesium, together with B vitamins, help to strengthen the immune system.
This food can be eaten raw, sliced very finely, or it can be used as a side dish after being boiled, cooked in a pan or in the oven.
