Beetroot is one of the healthiest veggies on the market, and now that it's autumn, we recommend serving it as often as possible. It is an excellent source of potassium and magnesium, helping lower blood pressure and cholesterol. We've made a cozy soup using it as the main ingredient, along with leek and onion, and seasoned it with rosemary and cumin.
