Profile
@ a glance
- Beta vulgaris (Linn.) is a native
of South Europe, extensively cultivated as an article of food
and especially for the production of sugar, and presents many
varieties.
- The juice of the Red Beetroot was
recommended 'to stay the bloody flux' and 'to help the yellow
jaundice,' also the juice 'put into the nostrils, purgeth the
head, helpeth the noise in the ears and the toothache.
- Beets are low in calories and are
a good source of vitamin C. A medium sized root has only 50
calories, no fat, and supplies 4% of the daily vitamin C
requirement. Beet tops (greens) are an excellent source of
vitamin A and
provide more minerals and vitamins than the root.
- The red pigment in beetroot -
betaline is used as a natural food colouring for a wide range of
foods, including frozen pizzas, tomato paste and strawberry
icecream.
- Beets are grown for both the fresh market and the processing
industry. The major beet producers are Russia, France, the US,
Poland, and Italy. In recent years, the US has grown beets on
14,000 acres.
- Over 400,000 cwt. have been produced for the fresh
market, with an additional volume of 200,000 tons for the
processing industry. Major production areas in the US are New
York, Wisconsin, Oregon, and Texas.
