Beets are high in anti-oxidants, are anti-inflammatory, and support some detoxification in the body. They are also believed to be protective against some cancers.
Cooking beets lightly will help maintain their anti-cancer properties. Also, leave once inch of the stem and root ends attached to hold in nutrients and prevent color from leaking.
Beets should be stored unwashed in a plastic bag in the fridge and can be stored for up to 3 weeks.
