Beet green is common in the market, you can barely observe the shining and luscious green leaf, its stem is purple in color and some are just green but purple stem is the most common that is available in the local Markets here in the Philippines.

 

Beet greens are those moist leafy top of the beetroot. They are entirely edible and are filled with superhero nutrients that make them a great addition to our meal. These greens can supply our body with good amounts of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and other beneficial nutrients. At present, they are used in various dishes or added smoothie or salad.

 

Below are some of the remunerations that we can obtain from eating beet greens:

 

Improve Eye Health

Beet greens are encumbered with Vitamin A (Beta-Carotene) and Lutein which are both beneficial for eye health.

A research conducted by the Age-Related Eye Disease Study Research Group, results showed that people over the age of 50 who took a supplement that includes beta-carotene had experienced a reduced risk of developing advanced macular degeneration. Moreover, Lutein in beet greens can also help prevent age-related muscular disease.

 

May Help Improve Digestive Health

Beet greens are rich in fiber, both soluble and insoluble. Ingestion of it can help improve digestion and chronic constipation as well as encourage healthy bacterial growth throughout the digestive tract. It stimulates good gut bacteria; a happy gut is vital for health!

 

May Boost Immunity

Beet greens are exceedingly rich in vitamin C which is known as nature’s immunity booster. Adding them to our diet can help our immune system, especially during the cold and flu season.

 

Maintain a Healthy Weight

Beet greens are great for preserving a healthy weight as they contain zero saturated fat and cholesterol. Aside from this, they are also rich in Vitamin K, copper, manganese, iron, and calcium.

 

Help Strengthen Bones

Beet greens are faultless for firming up the bones and lowering our risk of osteoporosis. It contains high amounts of calcium, vitamin D, and vitamin K which are all important for keeping the bones strong.

 

Dr. S. Ross, a women’s health professional at Providence Saint John’s Health Center in Santa Monica, California, says:

 “Vitamin K works with vitamin D to ensure that calcium finds its way to the bones to help them develop properly.”

In our country, beets are very common, but in the supermarket we only find the tuber which is the one we consume, it is very rich in nutrients and we do not consume the leaves.

As I was a kid we are it it is winterfood and not expensive. I haven't eaten it for long because it was not available. I read it has a high amount of vitamin C that's why I bought it now and the shop suddenly sells it frozen plus it was on sale. Lucky me. 😁
