As we move into summer and look to infuse healthier ingredients into our dishes, why would we consider the beet?

Beets have long been known for nutritional benefits including lowering blood pressure, decreasing inflammation, and helping improve athletic performance. Besides being loaded with vitamins and minerals, beets are also high in antioxidants, carotenoids, and nitrates!

One restaurant doing it right is Cal Mare in Los Angeles, owned by acclaimed Chef Michael Mina and Chef Adam Sobel. The best on the menu? Beet Campanella, a pasta dish dressed in goat cheese, sage, and black sesame, served with beet-infused pasta.
