Beets are high in folic acid (great for pregnant women), potassium, calcium and antioxidants (betacyanin, which is what gives beets their rich red color.).

My mom feeds them to me all the time; I'm anemic.

Yes. Beets are a good source of iron — a critical component for making hemoglobin in red blood cells. One cup of beets contains 10 percent of the recommended daily allowance of iron. Beets are also a good source of folate, which is also involved in the production of red blood cells.

Keep in mind that the form of iron found in plant sources, such as beets, grains and beans, isn't as readily absorbed by the body as iron from animal sources. However, beets also contain vitamin C, which improves absorption of iron from plant sources. So go ahead and eat beets. Other good sources of iron include meat, oysters and clams.

People with certain medical conditions may need more iron than they can get from food and may benefit from an iron supplement. Consult with your doctor before taking an iron supplement
