Beetroots, (Beta Vulgaris), evolved from the wild seabeet, a native plant commonly found on the coastlines of Europe. Since the early Greek and Roman times, the root has been used for widespread medicinal purposes around the globe. Hippocrates, the ‘Father of Medicine’ used the beetroot leaves for wound dressings. The Romans used the beetroot as a form of aphrodisiac. The beetroot was then used for a number of medicinal purposes over the next few centuries as a means to promote health and wellbeing. During the Renaissance the beetroot was used to aid digestive problems. Overall, it is evident that the beetroot has served many healthful purposes over the years, and modern medicine is exacting the true benefits of the humble beet. Beetroot Juice is a potent natural source of Nitrate. In addition, Beetroot Juice is also high in iron, Betanin, Vitamins A and C, and high in calcium . It also contains folic acid, protein, manganese, potassium and fibre. Protein assists the supply of oxygen to cells around the body, as well as producing white cells to protect against disease.
