Nutritionist Oksana Galkina explained why it is useful to eat beet tops.
Nutritionist Galkina drew the attention of Russians to the benefits of such a variety of greens as beet tops. The doctor noted that beet leaves have an anti-cancer effect. This effect is provided by the content of specific substances in them, which are also present in root crops.
“This vegetable owes its antitumor properties to betaine (amino acid) and betacyanin (red pigment). These substances are capable of destroying cancer cells,” the specialist said in a comment to aif.ru.
Galkina added that beets are also rich in magnesium. This microelement effectively helps prevent malignant tumors.
