Question

Are beets good for testosterone?

Answer 1

Yes beets are good for testosterone.

Beets contain boron which is essential for your body to be able to produce testosterone naturally and when you eat beets and consume that born your testosterone in your body will increase which is good when you need an increase in testosterone.

The beets also are good for muscle building and muscle strength as well and they also give your body energy and help keep your kidneys healthy as well.

Beets and beetroot are both good for muscle building.

Beetroot and beets are very good for you when building muscle and also just to keep your body healthy and give your body energy as well.

Beetroot and beets contain Nitrate which is a chemical naturally occurring in certain foods that is converted into nitric oxide when consumed.

When you get that nitric oxide from the beetroot it raises the nitric oxide levels in your body which helps build muscles.

So if you're on a muscle building goal then drinking beetroot juice or eating beets can help you build that muscle much quicker and easier.

Answer 2

Cooked beets can be frozen to extend the life of the cooked beets.

The beetroot is the taproot portion of a beet plant, usually known in North America as beets while the vegetable is referred to as beetroot in British English, and also known as the table beet, garden beet, red beet, dinner beet or golden beet.

Beets are rich in folate (vitamin B9) which helps cells grow and function.

Folate plays a key role in controlling damage to blood vessels, which can reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke.

Beets are naturally high in nitrates, which are turned into nitric oxide in the body.

Raw beets contain more vitamins, minerals and antioxidants than cooked beets.

Like many vegetables, the longer you cook beets (especially in water), the more of the colorful phytonutrients leach out of the food and into the water.

Retain the good-for-you nutrients in beets by roasting them or sautéing them instead.

You can freeze cooked beets.

When you freeze cooked beets just make sure the cooked beets have cooled down and then put the cooked beets in a Ziploc bag or a freezer safe container.

Frozen cooked beets will last for around 6 months before they start going bad and the frozen cooked beets will taste just as good as freshly cooked.

Then you can just boil the beets again to heat them back up.

No you should not wash beets before storing them.

The beets have a natural waxing coating on them that helps to protect them in storage and makes them last longer and by washing the beets you remove that layer of natural wax.

If you wash the beets then the beets will go bad sooner and get mushy and soft and then when they get mushy and soft they are bad and should be thrown out.

There's no need to wash the beets before refrigerating them or freezing them.

I've always just refrigerated them or froze them and only washed the beets when I was ready to cook them or eat them.

Beets will last in the fridge for up to 10 days.

You can leave beets out at room temperature and they will last around 5 to 7 days.

But refrigerating the beets will extend the life of the beets up to 10 days and after 10 days the beets will start turning soft and mushy and go bad.

You can tell when the beets have gone bad as the beets will get soft and once the beets have gotten soft then they are bad and should be thrown out.

If you want to extend the storage time of beets you can place the beets in a freezer safe container or bag and freeze the beets.

When frozen the beets will last for up to a year.

Although it's best to eat the beets within 3 to 6 months of freezing them as they lose their freshness after 6 months.
