Beetroot is a colorful root vegetable known for its earthy sweetness and rich nutritional profile. It contains dietary nitrates, folate, potassium, and natural plant pigments called betalains. These compounds have attracted scientific interest, particularly for their potential effects on blood pressure and physical performance.
