Best Beets Recipe: Pink Lady Hummus

beethummus6

Beets are what I like to call a “comfort-cleansing” food. They are exceptional at what they do, tasks that often contradict one another. How can you satiate and cleanse at the same time? Beets are especially beneficial for their liver-cleansing properties, which make them a great addition to a detox-friendly lifestyle. Even better – they carry bulk and keep you full and happy. Beets aren’t easy to sneak into a recipe, because their color gives them away, but you don’t want to hide them anyway. Their earthy overtones make for a welcome addition to any meal. This beets recipe comes in the form of a delicious hummus. Enjoy!

Beets: contain folic acid necessary for the production and maintenance of new cells, which benefits pregnant women and those undergoing physical healing, guard against colon cancer, protect against heart disease, are high in sodium, magnesium, calcium, iron, and phosphorous, are available all year round, contain cancer-fighting pigment betacynin, cleanse the blood, strengthen the gall bladder and liver, and can be used to treat acne.
