Beets!

A short video on how to boil raw beets. Super simple and super tasty! Beets are very healthy and contain calcium, magnesium, potassium, folic acid, fiber and vitamins A and C. Beets also contain phytonutrients called betalains, including betanin and vulgaxanthin. Both have been shown to provide antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and detoxification support.

  1. Hey Maya,

    For us lazier cooks, can you tell me approximately how long you boiled the beets before they became tender? 5, 10, 15 minutes?

    I'm a "like to do other things while food is cooking on the stove top" kinda gal.

    Thanks!
