Gold Beets
Dear Customers,
This week we feature Gold Beets You may
be most familiar with the red beet, but beets come in a variety of colors. One variety is orange, and is known as the golden beet. A descendant of a sea vegetable, orange beets are a nutrient-rich food low in calories and high in fiber and potassium. The difference between the red and the orange beet is the pigment compound. Red beets are rich in betalain pigment while orange beets are rich in b-xanthin pigment. Though their pigment color differs, their nutritional benefits are the same. You’ll gain a number of health benefits if you include the orange beet in your diet.
Please have a look at what we have this week and place your orders.
Thank you
David and Betty
