Beetroot is well known for its crimson juice, but powdered beetroot has recently become a popular superfood, with more and more people realizing its powerful benefits. And the attention is deserved: beetroot is packed with minerals, vitamins, and other compounds that give it some very interesting properties.
Beetroot’s dark red colour gives a clue to its main benefit – our blood circulation. It contains nitrates, which improve blood flow by relaxing arteries and veins.
