Beetroot

Beetroot is one of my favourite vegetable. You can just remove its skin, cut it into slices and boil it with water to make a simple soup. I really like the mild, natural sweetness of the warm beetroot soup. It gives me a warm, peaceful and energetic feeling. Furthermore, you can also do a simple stir fry of the beetroot itself or with other vegetables you like to experiment with. The mild sweet taste of the food will still be there. Give it a try. I think the Chinese name of beetroot is 甜菜根.

A recent study suggests that Beetroot juice can lower blood pressure. You can read about it HERE.
