Beetroot is fantastic against anaemia. Although it is usually used for food coloring, red beet is a medicinal plant. That actually means that those plants contain chemical compounds for botanical functions. From the Middle Ages, beetroot was used as a treatment for a variety of conditions, especially illnesses relating to digestion and the blood.It is recommended taking beetroot with garlic to nullify the effects of garlic breath. And that is very good to know! JIn Indian cuisine, chopped, cooked and spiced beet is a common side dish.
