Juice it and freeze it I say. 'Beetroot lolly's' could be the cure we've all been waiting for :) . We can move on now from buying multi vitamins at rip off prices and grow our own beetroots for a more natural way.

I have always been a firm believer in the body letting you know what it needs - spookily for the last few days I've been craving beetroot and .................... yarp, you guessed it, chocolate. Now apparently, if you crave chocolate you are low in magnesium. :)

Lethicin in chocolate, no? That's good for you.

i read somewhere, long ago, there's some nutrient that's only found in chocolate and mint. enjoy yours (I know you do). X

Hiya Scrobbity, that's interesting reading.

I bought some beetroot juice a few weeks ago (2 4 1 offer of organic juice in Waitrose). I tried & tried but it was a bit revolting. I know beetroot soup is delicious though. I wonder if heating it kills the nitrates.

If it has to be raw uncooked en perhaps grating it in salads?

Hope you're well xx Pen

Oh I am so glad you were the guinea pig on the beetroot juice! Will have to see if I can find anything on cooked beetroot killing off the nitrates (where's stilltruckin when you need her! :))

I'm still alive, so that's a bonus; not fabulously alive but you can't have everything. :) x

Quote:

'The method used to cook vegetables affects the amount of nitrate they retain .... Nitrates leach out of vegetables when they're boiled; the longer they're boiled, the more nitrates you'll lose. However, when you boil vegetables, you also lose healthy nutrients your body needs. Cooking methods such as steaming, roasting and stir-frying ensure that vegetables retain nutrients, including nitrates.'
