Beetroots have tremendous nutritional value and have often been referred to as a ‘health- food titan’. Beetroot with the leaves intact can be stored in the fridge for 3-4 days but Beetroot with the leaves removed can be stored for 2-4 weeks. For this recipe the leaves must be removed. They can be cooked in the same way as spinach or used in place of lettuce and spinach in salads.
