Beetroot juice

(1/3) > >>

Mrs Ava:
Some of my beetroot have started to bolt, and at first I pulled them out and chucked them on the compost heap.  However, whilst working, I had a brainwave and gathered them all up and took them home. 

Too tough to eat, but they juiced perfectly and a dozen bolted or corky beets produced over half a pint of juice. (fyi, I didn't bother to peel them, but did give them a good scrub)

Far to potent to drink straight, but delicious mixed with 4 parts apple juice.  As I has raised blood pressure and heart disease runs through our family, I was very interested to read that tests have shown that beet juice can lower BP and is packed with alsorts of vitamins and minerals.  The only downside I can find is pink pee.   ;D

Of course, now I am looking at the veggies on the plot in a new way.
