Beetroot with Corn Soup

Nutritional Value

Beetroot contains betacyanin which is a natural antioxidant with anti-cancer effect. It is rich in vitamin A, vitamin B1, vitamin K, iron, potassium and fibre. It can help prevent anemia and constipation.

Note: Beetroots are quite high in oxalates and may promote kidney-stone formation in susceptible individuals. They are also rich in potassium and are typically avoided in patients with chronic renal failure.
