Benefits
- Sea beet can significantly lower blood pressure after only a few hours of consumption. Sea beets are full of vitamins, minerals and medicinal plant compounds, they are low in calories and high in fiber, folate, manganese and dietary nitrates.
Possible Side Effects
- Beets are generally safe for consumption, but due to their high levels of oxalate content, they carry the risk of contributing to kidney stone formation. People with sensitive stomachs or irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) should also eat cautiously, as beets can cause digestive discomfort.
