BEET HEALTH FACTS:
Packed with nutrition, beets have antioxidants to help fight against cell damage and inflammation and may offer protection against certain forms of cancer. Health benefits include increased stamina and athletic performance, promotion of heart and brain health, including stroke prevention, lower blood pressure and helps fight again heart disease. Eating beets raw or juicing them may be more beneficial than boiling them.
SOAKED RAISIN HEALTH FACTS:
In addition to being more plump and juicy, soaking raisins in water also increases their health benefits, including increased nutrient absorption of water-soluble vitamins and minerals like vitamin C and certain B vitamins, minerals such as potassium and iron, and nutrients like boron and calcium for bone health. They also help with weight management by reducing our craving for sweets, and are a natural laxative, aiding in digestion and promoting regularity.
HOW TO SOAK RAISINS:
Super simple method for soaking raisins. Once they are ready strain out the fruit and preserve the water as it's rich in important nutrients, including iron and antioxidants.
- Bring 2 cups of water to a boil.
- Remove from heat and add 1 cup of raisins.
