Juicy red beets (chukandar) are in season and here are four reasons why you should make them part of your diet. 1. Essential for overall health. The high dose of manganese and betaine in beets are essential to overall health as they promote the optimal functioning of the nervous system. The presence of betalain – the anti-oxidant that give beets their red colour – and vitamin C ( the ultimate immunity booster) ward off illness and inhibit the formation of cancer causing cells.
