Beets are filled with nitric oxide that is used by people for exercise endurance as a natural superfood and have been shown in studies to help reduce inflammation and reduce blood-pressure. It also has other nutrients and minerals as well, so fun to use for your next meal or event to bring some added color to what you are making.
