Beetroot Hummus
Using beetroot as the base vegetable in this hummus, not only gives it beautiful vibrancy and natural sweetness but great nutritional value. Beetroot is iron rich, also containing beta-cyanic, which is shown to lower blood pressure. Furthermore, beetroot supports the breakdown and removal of built up toxins through the digestive system.
