The great thing about organic beetroot:

A study comparing organic and conventional beetroot found that organic beetroot had significantly higher contents of total betalains and total polyphenols, as well as higher total antioxidant capacities. This suggests that organic cultivation can enhance the nutritional quality of beetroot

Polyphenols: offer protection against the development of certain cancers, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and neurodegenerative diseases.

Betalains: proven to eliminate oxidative and nitrative stress by scavenging DPPH, preventing DNA damage, and reducing LDL. It also has been found to exert antitumor activity by inhibiting cell proliferation, angiogenesis, inducing cell apoptosis, and autophagy

Antioxidants: A diet high in antioxidants may reduce the risk of many diseases (including heart disease and certain cancers)
