Not only are beets packed with fiber, but they also contain calcium, vitamin C, iron, potassium and magnesium. On top of that, they contain two special inflammation-fighting compounds: nitrates and betalians. These phytonutrients (beneficial plant compounds) have been shown to fight harmful oxidative stress in the body and possibly play a role in the treatment of cardiovascular disease and cancer.
