I think beetroot has the most beautiful ruby red colour of all vegetables. Beetroot is a rich source of potent antioxidants and nutrients, including magnesium, sodium, potassium, iron, vitamin A, B1, B2 and C, and betaine, which is important for cardiovascular health and it is a good source of antioxidants. Beetroot juice has been shown to lower blood pressure, it has been linked with better stamina and improved blood flow.

Beetroot has a rich, earthy flavour (either you love it or hate it) with a mild, bitter edge. Mixing beet with other vegetables or fruits cuts through the earthy taste and enhances the sweet taste of this red miracle.

Be a friend of the beetroot, it loves you more than you think. Its beautiful red and pinkish colour is very relaxing. I know, I tested it!

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does this juice include apple, orange, and ginger alongside the beet?

The article explains that mixing beet with other vegetables or fruits “cuts through the earthy taste and enhances the sweet taste of this red miracle.” The 2 apples and 1 orange do the heavy lifting to balance the beet’s rich, earthy flavor with mild bitter edge.

What if I still find the beet flavor too strong?

The instructions say to dilute the finished juice with 1/4 cup of water if you don’t like the earthy flavor. The lemon juice (from half a lemon) is stirred in separately at the end rather than passed through the juicer.
