Bloodcurdling beetroot

The gorgeous crimson hue of beetroot makes it the perfect vegetable for Halloween. Versatile and low in fat, beetroot is packed with vitamins, minerals and powerful antioxidants. With a subtle, earthy flavour, it works in a wide variety of savoury dishes. Try adding roasted beetroots to a salad, blitzing them to make a delicious dip, or sprinkling them over a stew or soup to add texture. If you’ve got a sweet tooth, try adding beetroot to chocolate cakes or muffins to lower the fat and sugar content while retaining moisture.
