Product Description：Biennial herb that likes long sun. The main edible part is its spherical fleshy root, and the leaf part can also be used as a vegetable. Sweet in taste, flat in nature, it has the effects of invigorating the stomach and eliminating stagnation, relieving cough and resolving phlegm and smoothing qi and diuresis. Beetroot has a high potassium content, which has a corrective effect on the current poor dietary habits of high sodium and low potassium. The unique purple beet in beetroot has remarkable anti-cancer effects. Beetroot production ranks second only to sugarcane, and is the second most important source of sugar for vegetables. Beetroot has a long history of medicinal use in Europe. In the ancient Roman Empire, beetroot was used to treat constipation and fever, and beetroot was used to cover traumatic wounds. In the Middle Ages, Europeans used cabbage root to cure diseases of the digestive system and circulatory system.
Native to the Mediterranean coast of southwestern Europe. It was introduced into Northeast China by Arabia in the fifth century AD. Currently mainly distributed in Europe, Asia and North America. Domestically, North China is the main producing area.
Variety：Beetroot can be broadly divided into three varieties: (i) coastal beet (wild, native to the Mediterranean coast), (ii) Adana beet (wild, native to Greece to Syria), (iii) cultivated beet
(artificially cultivated, picked from coastal sugar beets) Beetroot can also be divided into three varieties by use: (1) edible beet (also called beetroot, used for vegetable consumption), (2) sugar beet (used for sugar production) ,(three)
Feed beet (used as fodder).
Supply Season：Harvest times vary by region. Beetroots grown in China are mostly harvested in October unless weather conditions affect their growth rate.
Storage Method：The newly harvested beetroot should not be stored in the cellar immediately, because the metabolism of the beetroot at this time is still active, which promotes the temperature of the cellar and facilitates the re-germination of roots. So, the freshly harvested beetroots are briefly stored for a month under 15 cm thick soil. It does not need to be refrigerated for storage and should be washed before cooking to keep it fresh. Once it is cut, it should be placed in the pot immediately to avoid the loss of vitamins due to oxidation by the air.

Typically, the dark purple roots of beetroot are eaten boiled, roasted or raw, on their own or with any salad green.
Cooking Skills：Beetroot is widely used. Europeans often use beetroot to make appetizers and salads. Europeans also use beetroot to make soup, which goes well with cheese, seafood, and meat. Since beetroot itself has a sweet and sweet taste, it is also very common to drink juice. It is recommended to add carrots, apples, spinach and ginger when juicing to make the taste and taste more outstanding. When cooking beetroot, it should be boiled or roasted for at least half an hour before peeling and slicing. Freshly squeezed beetroot juice should also be cooked and cut into small pieces, otherwise it will be difficult to stir thoroughly.
Notes：Consumption of beetroot may cause a reddish tinge to the urine, which is derived from the purple betalains in beetroot and poses no health risk. Beetroot grown under high temperature and humidity will have lower sugar content. Beetroot is very nutritious, and its status in Europe is comparable to that of ginseng in China.
As with most foods, surviving on just one crop can lead to an inadequate diet. Food shortages in Europe after World War I caused great hardship, including "Mangelwurzel's disease". This is the result of eating only beets.
