Don’t worry the red-purple colour is a pigment from the presence of betacyanin…..say that three times fast! Basically it’s a powerful antioxidant that promotes the function of the liver. Okay enough of the betacyanin. I’ve never attempted the famous Russian borscht soup, but I’ve roasted them and sliced them thin. I’ve also enjoyed the leaves in a nice salad. So roast them, preserve them or serve them raw. Experiment and make your heart beat for beets! I must say this Roasted Beet and Avocado Salad is addictive….
