Carrot and Beet Salsa

Beets protect liver cells and bile ducts from free radical damage. They are rich in phytonutrients - betaine, which supports detoxification pathways in the body. Their health benefits don’t stop here! They are also rich in fiber, iron, folate and the trifecta of blood pressure lowering minerals: calcium, magnesium, and potassium.
