Sok z buraka
Description
Beet juice has an intense, earthy flavor with natural sweetness and a mineral note, as well as a deep ruby-purple color that enlivens dishes and drinks. It is rich in natural nitrates, folates, potassium, vitamin C, and antioxidant betalains, and when consumed in moderation, it can support circulation, lower blood pressure, and improve physical performance; it is worth noting that it is a concentrated source of sugars and may cause temporary discoloration of urine and stool (beeturia). In the kitchen, it works well as a base for cocktails and smoothies, an ingredient in borscht, dressings, sauces, and marinades, as well as an addition to desserts, drinks, or roasted vegetables, pairing well with apple, ginger, goat cheese, and fresh herbs. It should be stored in a cool place in a tightly sealed container and is best consumed within 48–72 hours; it can also be portioned and frozen for longer storage.
