Beets NOTHING LIKE THE CANNED VERSION!! Fresh beets have a rich, sweet earthiness that delights the palate.  Their rich mineral makeup contributes directly to the well-being of the liver and gall bladder while building up blood corpuscles and cells and stimulating the activity of the lymph glands.  Beets emulsify bile and flush the kidneys and bladder.  Beets contain iron, calcium, sulfur, potassium, and chlorine.  They are also a source of beta carotene and vitamin C.  They also contain manganese which combines with iron to feed the liver and red corpuscles.  This vital mineral contributes to normal brain functions, reproductive functions, bone structure, and normal glucose metabolism. One medium size beet contains 35 calories, one gram of protein, eight grams of carbohydrates, and 2 grams of fiber back to fruit home page
