Fruits and veggies monday #33 - The Beets

My post today is as always dedicated to Mondays of #fruitsandveggiesmonday. I have to mention the beloved @lenasveganliving who every Monday supports all those who entered the competition and each of the judges who have a hard job.

For me it is a pleasure to be a participant in this beautiful initiative that I love because I have the opportunity to see the talent that many people have making incredible recipes and spectacular photos. Maybe what you do is not so elaborate, beautiful and professional but I think that a contribution is always well received and I share with you all the joy.

Today I am going to talk about a superfood that with only its color falls in love with beet / beets, both its leaf that is rich in iron and the vegetable contain many benefits and nutrients.

Beet / beets are high in minerals such as calcium, iron and magnesium, among others; and it provides many vitamins among which I know vitamin C, riboflavin and vitamin E. (Just to mention a few)

It is very versatile since we can prepare them in juices, salads or simply by ourselves. This time I prepared my daughter a delicious salad of potatoes, carrots, beets, parsley and olive oil.

I also prepared some delicious "Arepas" beets that got their approval. The "Arepa" in my country is corn flour that we mix with water, we knead and we give a circle shape.
