Beetroots – their nutritional value
100 grams of beetroot provide approximately 43 calories, 1.6 grams of protein, 0.2 grams of fat and 9.6 grams of carbohydrates. Beetroot is also a source of significant amounts of vitamins – A, C, B1, B2, B3 and folic acid, as well as rich in mineral components such as iron, potassium and magnesium. Additionally, beetroot contains about 2.8 grams of fiber in 100 grams of product. To obtain the maximum nutritional value, it is recommended to consume beetroot raw or subject it to quick thermal processing and consume it immediately after preparation. An exception is dried beetroot, in which the flavonoid content is similar to that of fresh beetroot. To increase the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, oil, butter or olive oil should be added to a dish with beetroot.
