As you can see, the beetroot plant is full of great benefits, from its stem and leaves to its sweet root, of course. Eat it raw or cooked, in a salad or juice, and enjoy its multiple properties. Just be careful: it is not recommended to drink beetroot juice alone, as it can cause stomach discomfort. Better combine it with carrot juice and take a shot full of vitamin A.
