Roasted beetroot is fantastic with a little cumin and thyme. If you are less patient, try this simple soup. It packs a punch to brighten up Autumnal afternoons. It also keeps well so can be cooked ahead of time.
Beetroots are fantastic for detoxification and liver support. The betacyanin gives these roots their rich bright pink colour, and is known to be cancer protective. They are also an excellent source of folic acid and fibre.
The coconut oil and walnuts are sources of good fat to keep you fuller for longer.
