Beets are an incredibly nutritious root vegetable. They contain nutrients including folate, manganese, potassium, and magnesium. They also contain nitrates, which may help lower blood pressure and promote heart health. We recommend buying pre-roasted beets to cut back on prep time. Trader Joe's make an excellent pack of pre-roasted beets.
Farro is a whole grain that adds a nutty flavor and fiber to this recipe. Whole grains can help slow digestion, helping to keep you full longer and potentially contributing to weight loss.
