HEALTHY BEETROOT RASAM

BY DISHA LAHORI

Rasam  is packed with rich dietary fibres, which adds bulk to your stool and enables smoother bowel regularity. Rasam is backed with thiamin, folic acid, vitamin A, vitamin C and niacin along with minerals such as potassium, iron, calcium, zinc, selenium, copper and magnesium. Packed with essential nutrients, beetroots are a great source of fiber, folate (vitamin B9), manganese, potassium, iron, and vitamin C. Beetroots and beetroot juice have been associated with numerous health benefits, including improved blood flow, lower blood pressure, and increased exercise performance.
