A member asked:
I gave boiled beetroot(2 small rings) to my 1 yr old boy.. but i just read on a forum that it can cause allergy.so worried. how bad it could be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: Vegetable roots are not that allergenic and when boiled likely even less so. I won't lose sleep over it since the odds are very low.
