The beet: the great ally of our heart

Beetroot, also known as Beta Vulgaris, is a vegetable characterized, among many other things, by its powerful pink color. Although at first glance we don't see any resemblance, it is part of the family of the Chenopodiaceae such as chard or spinach.

It is believed that its cultivation began in the mid-2nd century BC, so our ancestors already enjoyed its benefits. Today, its main producers are Italy and France.

It's a food that divides the population: you either love it or hate it. Here's a list of reasons why you'll either start loving it or fall even more in love with it.
