ABSTRACT Background Native to the Mediterranean, beetroot (Beta vulgaris) is a nutrient-dense root vegetable that is well-known for its health advantages because of its high vitamin, mineral, and betalain content. Because of its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory qualities, it can help lower free radicals and enhance general health. According to studies, it may aid in the treatment of diseases like cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure, and liver problems. Its vivid pigments, particularly betacyanin, are also used in food and cosmetics, though their use in cooking may be restricted due to heat sensitivity. Beetroot is a great complement to diets that emphasize natural health solutions.
