Beetroot, yellow

The "yellow" beetroot is a variation of the classic beetroot. It has a slightly milder taste and is prepared in the same way as its red sister, only the colouring is missing.

With its sun-yellow colour it brings light to the plate and is so popular because it does not discolour hands or kitchen walls during preparation.

All beetroot varieties are very low in calories. So 100 g yellow beets have only about 40 calories. The root vegetable also contains 1.5 g protein, 10 mg vitamin C, many vitamins of the B group and only 0.1 g fat, as well as iron, zinc, sodium and magnesium.

Recipe tip for a sun-yellow salad.
Boil the tubers, covered with water, for approx. 30 min. cold quench, peel and let cool. Cut into slices. Cut an apple into small cubes and add. Mix with apple vinegar, sunflower oil or salad oil, some herb salt, a pinch of turmeric and a dash of lemon. Sprinkle with dry-roasted sunflower seeds before serving.
