Beetroot (chukandar) is a root vegetable with the scientific name Beta Vulgaris. It is high in fibre, folate, manganese, potassium, iron, and vitamin C, as well as other essential nutrients. Beetroots have traditionally been valued for their ability to detoxify and purify the blood and liver. The betalin pigment in beetroot aids in detoxification by breaking down toxins. 1 cup (136 grammes) of boiled beetroots contains less than 60 calories and is a good option for dieters who want to lose weight while also satisfying their sweet tooth.
