Beetroot, cooked in unsalted water

Beetroot is a root vegetable. These figures describe beetroot cooked in unsalted water, including fresh beetroot boiled after peeling and ready-cooked vacuum-packed beetroot, with no added vinegar. It mainly provides carbohydrate, along with fibre and some vitamins and minerals. Per 100g, it contains 12g of carbohydrate, 11g of sugars, 2.6g of fibre and 90µg of folate.

Fibre supports normal bowel function, while folate is needed for normal cell division and the formation of red blood cells. The sugars in plain beetroot occur naturally within the vegetable. Pickled or seasoned beetroot may have different sugar and salt contents, so these figures do not describe all beetroot products. Full nutrient figures are provided in the tables below.

About these figures

Values are per 100g of the food as described (11 samples, UK and Dutch, including fresh and ready-cooked vacuum packed beetroot, no added vinegar. For fresh samples, top and root trimmed, peeled. Boiled for 1-2 hours). "Trace" means only a very small amount was found. Nutrients that were not measured are not shown. Salt is calculated from sodium.
