It also contains the phytochemicals carotenoids and flavonoids which help prevent LDL ‘ bad’ cholesterol from being oxidised and deposited in the arteries. Beetroot is virtually fat free and low in calories. Beetroot has for many years been used as a treatment for cancer in Europe.Beetroot can be stored in the refirgerator or on a cool, dark shelf.
