Final Thoughts

Mostly taste of the vegetable affects our dietary choices over the nutritional benefits. This eventually results in a lack of important vitamins and minerals in our diet. Despite being aware of all the health benefits, we tend to avoid the nutritious property over taste.

If you get sick of eating the usual Ghiya, Loki, and Tinda, just find out some yummy ways like we discussed above for Beets, so that you get the maximum benefits without compromising on your health goals.
