Quick nutrition overview (1 cup of beets):

Evidence backed benefits of beets

The wonderful purple superfood that is most definitely a favorite of ours for juicing has many beneficial nutrient properties, thanks to its high fiber, vitamin c, and delicious flavor.

One cup of beets can provide up to 37% of your daily folate needs, which is a necessary B-vitamin for blood cell metabolism, the production of DNA/RNA, and healthy brain function.

Beets are an excellent addition to a hearty plant-based salad and go wonderful when juiced with kale or spinach.

One of the most significant benefits of beets is its potential to reduce high blood pressure levels. Thanks to the high levels of potassium and nitrates contained within beets, studies show a high correlation with beetroot juice intake and blood pressure reduction.

Beetroot has also been shown to help detox the liver thanks to the plant compounds betaine and betanin. Betanin is also the compound that helps to give beetroot its bright purple color.

Kitchen tools needed to make the perfect beet juice

Slow masticating juicer

The main tool you will need for this recipe is a slow masticating juicer like the Tribest 5050 or the Omega nc900 slow juicer. The cold temperature juicing, coupled with the high-pressure squeezing of the internal auger, provides the perfect setup for extracting the maximum amount of juice from your beets.

Fast centrifugal juicer

In this recipe, you can use a fast centrifugal juicer like the Breville juice fountain, but this allows for slightly less versatility when adding in extra ingredients, especially if you like to mix leafy greens with your beets. The plus side to a fast juicer is they are generally cheaper.

Instructions

How to juice beets in a juicer

• Wash the beets thoroughly

  You can use a food brush to remove the thin external layer of the beetroot which should remove any dirt, debris or chemicals from the soil
• Cut off the root and the beet green leaves 

  You do not need to peel the beetroot after a thorough clean but can if you prefer.

  Carefully cut off the root, ensuring not to remove too much of the actual beet.

  Slice the beet green leaves off your beetroot, but don't throw them away.

  Beet greens are highly nutritious and can either be used in a separate green juice recipe or can be added into this beet juice recipe to enhance the nutritional output.
• Slice your beets into sufficient sized pieces

  It is important to cut your beets into chunks small enough to fit through your juicers feed chute but still big enough that it doesn't take forever to juice.
• Prepare your juicer

  Ensure all safety clamps and safety locks are in place.

  Make sure the juicer is secured to your surface, and all parts are safely attached to each other.

  Place your pulp collection container and your juice jug in the appropriate places to avoid any excessive mess
• Begin juicing

  Gradually juice all your sliced beets taking care not to overfill the feed chute.

  Your juicer should come with a tamper or plunger to aid in pushing the beets through.

  Ensure the beets have been pushed through to the auger before placing more pieces into the feed chute.

  If a lot of froth has developed in your juicers jug, use a sieve or strainer to filter the juice.
• Serve

  You can now serve up your tasty, nutrient-rich beetroot juice with a few ice cubes and enjoy the refreshing flavor!

  It's best to drink while fresh to avoid nutrient degradation. Alternatively, you can store in the refrigerator in a vacuum-sealed bottle or container.
