How much raw beetroot can you consume per day.
If we take that beetroot is a bit smaller than a tennis ball.
After removal of the skin,how much can you eat per day?
all of it,half, a quarter,an eighth.
Many thanks in advance

In the olden days before Covid -19 I volunteered at a lunch club for the elderly. They ate pickled sliced beetroot with EVERYTHING, from sausages and stew to lasagne and curry. Most of them were well into their 80’s so it obviously wasn’t doing them any harm!
