Beets are a potent source of antioxidants and phytonutrients that have been shown to support optimal blood pressure and cardiovascular health. The fiber content and propensity to promote beneficial bacteria in the microbiome also makes beets a gut-healthy food!

Pair cooked beets with your favorite yogurt for added probiotic benefits, and top with extra virgin olive oil and pistachios for an extra dose of polyphenols and healthy fats. This makes for a delicious side dish!
