A member asked:

What are the benefits of eating a beet everyday? is eating a raw beet healthier as compared to boiled in plain unsalted water?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It depends,,: Beets have unrefined, natural sugar, which may be healthier than artificial sweeteners and refined sugar in sweets. As to if it's better boiled vs. Raw, it depends on if the raw one has come into contact with anything that could contaminate it like bacteria and cause you sickness. Generally it's better to wash vegetables before they're eaten.
