GREΕK BEETROOT: In dried form from 4G
Known since antiquity, beetroot was considered a valuable nutritious vegetable. His leaves were cooked with honey and wine, while his dye was used as a hair dye.
It is said that in the Delphi temple they offered to God Apollo and believed that the goddess Aphrodite was eating many beets, so she kept her beauty.

HEALTH
Beetroots are rich in carbohydrates, nitrates, magnesium, iron, potassium, sodium, phosphorus, vitamin C, vitamin B1, B2, B6, B5 (pantothenic acid), fiber and phytonutrients such as β-carotene. The red color of beetroot bulb is due to pigments called betalaines and have a strong antioxidant effect.
Research by Exeter University showed that beetroot juice can improve our stamina so we can exercise 16% more. The high content of nitrates in the sweaters reduces the body’s requirements for oxygen, making gymnastics easier. Although the exact mechanism has not been proven, the researchers assume that it is the conversion of nitrate to nitric oxide that is responsible for improving this resistance.
Also, the juice helps them reduce blood pressure. According to the researchers, the amount of nitrate is the one that has the beneficial – for high pressure – properties. This is due to the conversion of nitrate (with saliva) to nitrite.
