Beets are INCREDIBLY nutritious…packed full of essential nutrients and vitamins such as potassium, magnesium, fiber, vitamins A, B & C and many more!
Beetroot serves as a natural blood cleaner. It’s able to help the body detox and cleanse the blood of heavy metals, toxins and waste due to its compounds called glutathiones, which are essential for detoxification within the liver and other digestive organs. Additionally, the fiber content in beetroot helps to sweep the digestive tract of waste and toxins while restoring healthy and regular bowel movements
