Beetroot is a root vegetable. The figures here are for raw beetroot with the top and root trimmed and the skin peeled. It mainly provides carbohydrate, with 7.6g per 100g, of which 7g is sugars. It also provides folate at 150µg and potassium at 380mg per 100g.
Folate is needed for normal cell division and the formation of red blood cells. Potassium supports normal nerve and muscle function. The sugars in plain raw beetroot are naturally occurring rather than added. These values do not describe pickled beetroot, which may contain added salt or sugar. Full nutrient figures are shown in the tables below.
