\"Beetroot<\/a>Beetroot pesto is a great alternative to the classic Italian pesto. It’s delicious, yummy and its lively red-purple colour is soo attractive.<\/p>\n

You won’t believe me if I tell you, the first time I saw a bunch of raw beetroots was in my twenties. I was so fascinated\u00a0and in love with that beautiful root vegetable and those elegant green-purple leaves. It was in college. We used the root grated, roasted or boiled. For salads, soups, quiche and even cakes. The leaves wilted or for colourful\u00a0salads. In Cambodia was when I started to juicing beetroots and using them as a natural food colorant. Nowadays you can find golden beetroot and even ones with white rings inside, just beautifully hypnotizing.<\/p>\n

\"beetroot\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Today I decided\u00a0to give beetroots\u00a0a new and delicious used. This rich purple beetroot pesto contains the same ingredients than\u00a0the classic basil pesto. Just beetroot is added, increasing it’s nutrition effects. Sirve it as snack with bread or crudites, spread it on pizzas or even in sandwiches, it’s great on\u00a0toasted beet and goat cheese sambo with spinach… yuuummmm<\/p>\n

Beetroots<\/strong> have long\u00a0been used for its medicinal purpose. They\u00a0stimulate liver desintoxication, it’s good for bone mineralization and muscle contraction. Beetroots have an incredible nutrient value, they are low in fat,a good source of folic acid, fibre, manganese and potassium and the greens are high in iron, calcium and vitamin A and C. It exceptional colour comes from betacyanin, a\u00a0pigment that provides antioxidants and anti-inflammatory support to the body.<\/p>\n

I know cooking with beetroots can be a bit of a mess. Just be mentally prepared for it and enjoy the funny part of getting your hands, knife, cutting board, kitchen floor and even walls with a pink-ish colour. You\u00a0will feel a kid again \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n
