Nutritional FUN Fact about BEETROOT!
Beetroot has iron, potassium, magnesium and vitamins a, B6, C and folic acid and it helps cholesterol and blood sugar levels stabilise.BUT did you know that it was also seen as an aphrodisiac since Roman times and it wasn’t all folklore as it has been found to contain high amounts of boron, which is directly related to the production of human sex hormones. ALSO if consumed with garlic, beetroot can eliminate garlic breath...so you don’t have to suffer social isolation anymore and can eat garlic (with beetroot) to your heart’s content!
Note: You can substitute the sunflower seeds with pine nuts or walnuts, or any other nuts that tickle your fancy..and dont be afraid to get creative, dont have papaya in the fridge? Try another fruit like an apple or pear. Try your own ‘originales’ combination :) Happy Salad-ing ! x
