While beetroot isn’t everyone’s favorite, there’s no denying that it’s packed with phenomenal health benefits. From minerals and essential vitamins to plant compounds, the maroon vegetable is packed with nutrients beneficial in the treatment of various diseases. But did you know that beetroot can improve brain function? Yes, you read that right. Our mental and cognitive functioning naturally declines with age. However, the nitrates in beetroot can improve brain function by promoting the widening of blood vessels. This helps in increasing blood flow to the brain. So here are a few ways you can include beetroot in your daily meals:
as salad
The great thing about vegetables is that you don’t always have to cook them, but you can consume them directly in the form of a salad. But if you can’t consume it alone because of the taste, you can always add some lemon or salt to it to enhance the taste. You can consume it with any meal.
beetroot juice
If you find it difficult to chew it raw, you can prepare a beetroot juice and consume it early in the morning during breakfast. If you can’t tolerate the beet juice on its own, you can add some extra fruits and vegetables of your choice and make a mixed fruit or vegetable juice with the beetroot.
Beetroot Paratha
Like the beloved aloo paratha, beetroot paratha is a whole-wheat flatbread stuffed with a spiced beet filling. Unlike other parathas, beetroot parathas have a slightly sweet taste that comes from the beetroot, which makes them unique. You can serve this paratha with pickle or curd.
Beetroot Kebab
These flavorful kebabs are made by grating carrots and beetroot and cooking them with oatmeal and spices. You can serve these skewers as an evening snack with mint chutney to enhance the flavour.
Beetroot Halwa
Beetroot halwa is a slow cooked dessert made with grated beetroot, milk, sugar, cardamom and dried fruit. The unique color of this halwa is sure to make you drool. Not to be missed, it is packed with health benefits and flavor.
