UI Extension Tells You Why You Should Beet It

Delicious but Often Misunderstood Root Vegetable Explained

Many of us love the sweet/earthy flavor of beets. Others of us may need some... persuasion.

Our friends at University of Illinois Extension and UI Health are here to help with this featured contribution. The first part focuses on the extraordinary health benefits provided by beets. The second has helpful suggestions on how to prepare them to your liking.

Thanks as always to Bianca Bautista of UI Extension Cook County, who prepares these features as part of the organization's Eat.Move.Save program that provides information on how to make healthier choices on a budget.
