health guide

Oranges are a low GI food. They are ideal for people with diabetes and for anyone needing an energy boost. They are high in vitamin C, which may reduce the risk of strokes and some cancers.

cook's tip

Purchase fresh beetroot with crisp, bright green leafy tops. Scatter raw leaves on salads or cook them as for spinach. They are rich in beta carotene.

This sounds amazing, I can't really imagine the taste of beetroot and orange mixed together but it's probably very unique 🙂

It is good, It will remind you a bit of carrot turnip salad with pineapples. It is a bit similar. Laughing
