I used to juice beets, and my cookbook included a warning about ingesting too much raw beet juice at a time. Any info on that? You recommend raw beets, not cooked or steamed , yet your recipe suggests roasting them. You ruined the recipe by adding oil and animal products, they are known to significantly decrase vascular function. But if you want vegan,I would suggest miso and brewers yeast, instead of parmesan for that umami taste. The greens from the beetroot are delicious wilted with olive oil and cherry tomatoes.
Do you realize how bad aluminium foil is for health? Rather line the foil with baking paper first or roast in a closed glass dish such as a Pyrex dish, but do not let the foil come in contact with the food, it is a known carcinogen. Thanks for spelling that out. Many people are still obvious to dangers of aluminium foil as they are to cooking in non stick pots.
I eat a package 8. Better than taking meds. Bill , gardener in Kauai. It is stated in the article on beets above, that one could also eat green leafy veggies such as kale, spinach and lettuce…. They are absolutely delicious when steamed, tossed with a little garlic, a dash of grapeseed oil, a hit of pure apple cider vinegar, black pepper and if you are not worried about high blood pressure, add some of that nice pink Himalayan sea salt.
Another version is just steam the beet greens, toss in lemon juice and sea salt.. I cannot believe no one mentions eating the beet greens!
I have never heard that; and we eat lots of beets fresh from the garden. I have been shredding raw beets for salads; delicious!! I understand raw one are healthier than cooked. What is the difference; in terms of vitamins and minerals?
You have been misled. Beets are not toxic after cooking. Raw fruits and vegetables give you enzymes. Cooking destroys the enzymes completely. Vitamins and minerals should be the same, cooked or raw. But the vitamins and minerals in cooked beets are better absorbed into your body. Raw beets, like spinach, are best raw. Beets cleanse the blood. Beets turn toxic when cooked. I used to hate beets but love fresh roasted beets with little more than olive oil, sea salt and aged balsamic vinegar!
Now we grow our own and the leafs are good too! You can prepare beet greens as you would other greens—such as Swiss chard. Wash and separate the leaves and stems. Sign In. Become a Member.

Beets are also rich in betalains , a class of potent antioxidants and anti-inflammatories that battle free radical- and inflammation-related chronic diseases like heart disease, obesity, and possibly cancer. Speaking of cancer, research suggests that betacyanin, the pigment that gives beets its pretty purple hue may help protect against common carcinogens; it has also shown promise against laboratory-grown breast cancer cells and is currently being investigated as a cancer-fighter.
