Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Red Beet

Metabolic Effect: Thanks to the nitrate it contains, red beet can help lower blood pressure by dilating blood vessels. This feature can be beneficial especially for individuals with high blood pressure.
Consumption Recommendation: You can consume red beets raw in salads or fruit juices. You can also add it cooked to soups, meals or as a garnish. You can try different cooking methods to achieve different flavors.
Things to Consider: Red beet may turn the urine red in some people (beeturia). This condition is harmless, but may cause concern in some people. In addition, it is recommended that people with kidney stone problems pay attention to its consumption due to its high oxalate content.
Exercise Equivalent: It may be sufficient to take a light-paced walk for about 10-15 minutes to burn the calories from 100 grams of red beets. This may vary depending on the individual's metabolic rate and other factors.
