Hi. This may be a silly question but, do we use raw beets? Or are we supposed to cook them first?
Author
No it’s not a silly question. I use raw beets because it is
slightly higher in nutrients such as vitamin C, folate,
and certain antioxidants compared to cooked beets.
Okay, lemme try this out. Health is wealth they said.
Author
Yes it is 🙂
