I damn' well hope it can!
From - where else? - the Daily Mail:
Boom time for beetroot, the new superfood: Sales up 20% in four years after claims root vegetable can help treat bloody pressure and boost athletic performance
I'm very partial to a nicely-cooked beetroot but the Spouse has recently become a fan of raw beetroot juice, which is quite another matter.
"An interesting bouquet; very earthy! I'm getting...cellar floor and..hmmm...compost and overtones of damp canvas with, perhaps, just the merest hint of earwig."
I've been meaning to get back into beetroot but one meal of it and the rest goes to waste. Not an easy veg to fall in love with.
ReplyDeleteWe eat lots of beetroot but I sprinkle salt on it in spite of all the bloody pressure to cut down.
