If you are not a fan you should know that beetroot has been gaining amazing popularity as the new super-food recently. It is low in fat, full of powerful antioxidants, rich in Vitamin C, and helps in the absorption of iron. Juicing is basically a quick way to get loads of its nutrients into your body at once.

Undoubtedly, beetroots are one of the healthiest vegetables you can juice. A glass of beetroot juice helps in giving you all the vitamins and minerals in a concentrated form.

Also, remember that plain beetroot juice may contain oxalic acid; therefore, it is good to blend it with other fruits or vegetables. This will also help in adding additional flavour and nutrition. Other fruits that go well with beetroot could be apples, oranges and pineapple that add a nice tang while complementing the sweet flavour of beets.
