Since ancient times beetroot juice has been associated with human blood due to its dark crimson pigment, potent enough to colour a litre of water with just a few drops.
Medieval herbalists wrote about the beneficial properties of beetroot juice. Modern research has since explored much of this ancient science and folk medicine through chemistry and nutritional analysis. Beetroot juice contains an abundance of Potassium Phosphorus, Calcium, Sulfur, Iodine, Iron and Copper, as well as traces of the rare metals Rubidium and Caesium. Along with Carbohydrates, some Protein and Fat, one finds Vitamins B1, B12, and C in beetroot juice.
