-Do you think that beet is forbidden because “it has too much sugar”?

I’ll tell you a little bit about the properties of beet so you know all its benefits:

RECIPE

BEET HUMMUS

➡️ Source of fiber, especially insoluble, prevents constipation and helps reduce cholesterol and sugar absorption.

➡️ Prevents anemia, due to the folates it contains.

➡️ Improves circulation, lowers blood pressure and may help with migraines, contains nitrates that convert to nitric oxide and are vasodilators.

➡️ It is rich in phenolic compounds and flavonoids (the pigments that give it its characteristic color: betaines and betalains). These pigments are anti-inflammatory and prevent cellular oxidation, so some studies point to its anti-cancer potential.

Information for Diabetes:

100g of beets provide 7g HC (carbohydrates).

In addition, being rich in fiber, it reduces the glycemic index, that is to say, that carbohydrates ARE SLOWLY ABSORBED.

➡️ For example: to get the same amount of carbohydrates as a medium apple🍎 , you would have to eat 3 or 4 beets!!! 200g of apple = 300g of beet = 20g of carbohydrates.

BEET HUMMUS RECIPE:

• 100g COOKED BEET (you can buy it cooked, if you buy it raw it takes about half an hour to cook).
• 200g of COOKED GARBANZO (you can buy them already cooked in a jar, and you only have to wash them)
• 1 clove of GARLIC
• Juice of half a LEMON
• A dash of olive oil, a pinch of salt and pepper.

Blend everything with a blender and that’s it!

You can serve them with wholemeal toast or with crudités (carrot or cucumber sticks).
