Tag: Beetroot sugar

While beets contain natural sugar, a standard half-cup serving of cooked beets has a low glycemic load of 6, not the high-sugar bomb many assume. The concern, "Is there too much sugar in beets?", often overlooks the context of this nutrient-dense vegetable's overall health profile.

While many assume 'beetroot sugar' is a healthy alternative, the refined product derived from sugar beets is nutritionally identical to cane sugar and often genetically modified. This distinction is critical for evaluating the real pros and cons of beetroot sugar and the whole vegetable's benefits.
