I have a juicer! My advanced apologies if go a bit overboard with juice posting.

My favorite vegetables/fruits to juice (before today) were tomatoes, apples, carrots, ginger and fennel. However, as of today, beetroot quickly made its way to my number one favorite vegetable to juice. Maybe it’s the natural sweetness of the beet, maybe it’s the deep magenta color, maybe it’s the small layer of tasty foam that rises to the top of the juice…whatever it is, I am hooked, and I think you should be too.

Beets are high in Vitamin A, soluble and insoluble fiber, and also antioxidants. When consumed regularly, they have also been associated with lowering the risk of heart disease and certain cancers (specifically colon cancer). In ancient Roman times, beetroot was used as a treatment for fevers and constipation, and also considered an aphrodisiac. Beet juice for two, anyone?
