BEET ROOT THORAN l SIDE DISHRECIPES

Beetroot can be eaten raw along with salad, or boiled   and sliced can be given to the small children just to eat as it is.  We can    make a subzi out of it, raita, halwa etc. everything is very very tasty with this vegetable. 

I have made this simple and easy recipe  which can be made by children too.  You can cut the same into small cubes and cook it.  Here I preferred to grate the same for easy preparation as it takes very little time to cook.

The beta cyanin in beetroot can help detox  the  liver, having a knock-on effect for the  bloodstream, by helping the body to eliminate toxins and potentially preventing the build-up of fatty deposits.      Beetroot Juice Can Prevent Strokes & Heart Attacks

Beetroot is a super-storehouse of both vitamin C and iron.   Both are essential elements for health. The roots are a good source of many other vitamins and minerals, including folic acid, phosphorous, magnesium.  Consumption in the raw form is more beneficial.
