The amount of vitamins in raw vegetables and fruits is much greater than in boiled ones. We are periodically reminded of this by raw foodists, but our experienced chefs never cease to amaze us with their creations, using raw ingredients to do this. Today we will examine several types of salads made from fresh beets.
We are well aware that beets are able to preserve a large amount of vitamins and minerals in boiled form, but still a few more of them are still in their raw form. At the same time, I immediately want to warn hypotonic patients, those who have obvious problems with the gastrointestinal tract, diabetes and urolithiasis. For you, alas, doctors recommend not eating raw beets, for certain reasons. And for those of you who do not have such problems, especially for those who care about their figure, we recommend using our recipes.
