Packed with nutrients such as folate and manganese, they are also a source of fibre, iron, magnesium, potassium, and vitamin C. Whether roasted, boiled, pickled, or blended into smoothies, beets offer a unique combination of sweetness and earthiness that excites the taste buds. Available locally from June to October but can be purchased year-round, beets provide a burst of flavour to any dish.
