Better Beets

 

Better Beets
A vegetable known to boost stamina, loaded with vitamins and iron. Making beets part of your diet is a simple way to maintain cardiovascular health. Each bottle contains the juice of 1 ½ beets, and natural flavor from natural fruit and vegetable juice.

Fact
Beets can be made into a wine that tastes similar to port. You can use beet juice to measure acidity. When added to an acidic solution it turns pink, but when it is added to an alkali it turns yellow. This is often referred to as the Litmus Test.

Since the 16th century, beet juice has been used as a natural red dye. In 19th century England, the Victorians used beets to dye their hair!

Red beets get their color from a pigment called “betalain.” Betalain is also responsible for the red color of bougainvillea and amaranth.

Some people are susceptible to “beeturia,” the passing of red colored urine and stools after eating beets. Beeturia is harmless but is often mistaken for the dangerous conditions of blood in the urine or stool.
