Beetroot, pickled, drained

Pickled beetroot is a root vegetable preserved in a pickling liquid. The figures here describe whole or sliced beetroot after draining. It provides mainly carbohydrate, with small amounts of protein and fat. Per 100g, it contains 5.6g of carbohydrate, all of which is sugars, alongside 190mg of potassium and 0.3g of salt.

Carbohydrate supplies energy, while potassium supports normal nerve and muscle function. The sugar figure includes total sugars and does not distinguish between naturally occurring and added sugars. The salt content is worth noting for people monitoring their salt intake. Full nutrient figures are shown in the tables below.
