Vegan Non-GMO Project Verified Kosher Certified Gluten-Free No Added Colors No Added Preservatives Benefits of Beets Healthy Liver Beets contain the bioactive agent betaine which stimulates the function of liver cells and protects the liver and bile ducts. When the liver is functioning properly, fats are broken down efficiently, aiding weight loss, and preventing fatigue and nausea. Cholesterol The antioxidants present in beets, including carotenoids and flavnoids, can limit the harm that too much cholesterol in the blood can cause. Through helping prevent LDL or "bad" cholesterol from being oxidized, antioxidants help prevent the build up of harmful, artery-clogging plaque. Anemia & Fatigue In the 16th century, it was given as a "blood builder" to people who were pale and run down. At the time, doctors and patients may not have known why it was so efficacious, but health experts now know that the high iron content in raw beets can be helpful for people who suffer from anaemia and fatigue. Blood Pressure Beets contain two important nutrients that can help lower blood pressure: potassium and nitrate. Potassium works with sodium to maintain the volume of blood in circulation steady. More sodium in the body means more water, more blood volume and higher blood pressure. Consuming more potassium helps flush sodium out of our system, lowering blood pressure. Exercise & Stamina By widening blood vessels, the nitric oxide that comes from the naturally occurring nitrates in beets helps increase blood flow and reduces the oxygen needed by muscles, enabling them to work more efficiently. Also, beets can increase exercise performance and stamina by allowing muscles to perform the same amount of work with less oxygen. Prenatal Care Folic acid is crucial to the development of a baby's spinal cord and can help prevent spinal cord defects, such as spina bifida. Women who are pregnant or trying to conceive can get 70% of the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) of folic acid from three raw baby beets. Cooked beets have lower levels of folic acid than raw beets, but are still a good source of the nutrient. Increased Sex Drive Since Roman times, beets have been viewed as an aphrodisiac. It contains high amounts of boron, which is directly related to the production of human sex hormones. Heart Health Beets are rich in potassium, which is one of the main minerals responsible for muscle contraction, including the contraction of the heart. A diet rich in beets and other potassium-rich foods can help decrease the risk of cardiovascular disease and stoke. Better Bones Beets contain the mineral silica, which helps the body to utilize calcium, so it's important for musculo-skeletal health and reducing the risk of osteoporosis. Love Beets Story Love Beets is a true labor of love from husband and wife team, Guy and Katherine Shropshire. The Shropshire family, known for growing salad vegetables in England, decided to purchase a small beet factory with the hopes of sharing a family favorite with others. They knew they wanted to find a way to attract younger people to beets, so the family got to work experimenting with unique marinated beet recipes. Making Beets Fancy In October 2010, Guy and Katherine brought their marinated baby beets to New York City's Fancy Food Show, where the response was overwhelmingly positive. Virtually everyone who tasted their beets said they "love beets!" Hopping the Pond Not only did the name stick, but Guy and Katherine moved to the United States, looking for opportunities to build their brand and spread the beet love.
