Beets are fantastic. They are high in fiber, help to lower cholesterol, regulate blood sugar levels, and will keep you regular. They can also help lower blood pressure, improve athletic performance, and cognitive function. They store pretty long without spoiling and are in season during the cooler months of the year. When making your culinary decisions, you should also consider what is in season and eat in-season as much as possible.
