October In Season
Our vegetable of the month is the BEETROOT. Since Roman times, beetroot has been used to treat disorders of the blood, as a laxative and as a fever reducer. Raw beetroot is an excellent source of vitamin C. It’s also a great source of iron and is currently considered to be one of the multitude of “superfoods”. Recent research has linked beetroot juice to a reduction in the risk of heart disease.
