Beetroot (Beta vulgaris) is a biennial root vegetable grown for its fleshy root of an intense purple-red. The sweet root is rich in iron, folate, fibre and antioxidants, and the young leaves are also edible. It is eaten boiled, roasted, pickled or in salads and soups, and is prized for its colour and flavour. It prefers loose, fertile soils and cool weather, and is a hardy, easy-to-grow vegetable. Beetroot stores well through winter, making it a valuable food source in the cold season.
