The beet is a root vegetable. The most well-known is the beetroot or garden beet. The roots are most commonly deep red-purple in color but come in various shades, including golden yellow and red-and-white stripes.
Beets are a good source of fiber, potassium, and folate. Researchers believe the red pigment (called betacyanin) in beets may protect against the development of cancerous cells and might play a role in reducing the inflammation associated with heart disease.
