Beets

Comments

 
Picture
A herbaceous plant (Beta vulgaris) of the goosefoot family, widely cultivated as a source of food for humans and livestock, and for processing into sugar.
Beets belong to the same family as chard and spinach. The leaves have a bitter taste whereas the round root (typically rich purple, but also white or golden) is sweet. Beet juice can increase exercise endurance, possibly because its dietary nitrates turn into nitric oxide in the body,  promoting increased blood flow and regulating (reducing) blood pressure.
