Beetroot
is a very good healthy vegetable especially for increasing the HB count.
It also helps to prevent
macular degeneration, improve blood circulation, aid in skin care, prevent
cataracts and mediate respiratory problems. Beets also contain nearly 14 g of
sugar in each cup. If you need to monitor your blood sugar levels, this may be
a cause for concern.
This is
a simple stir fry masala that, I do very often. It goes well with rice and Chapatti.
