A List of Non-Cruciferous Vegetables

Beets

Beets are a type of root veggies characterized by a dark red color. They are often grown in cold climates. As an inexpensive veggie, people can use them mostly in salads and soups. You can eat them raw, steamed, baked, or boiled. The root could be used to make beet juice as well, which can help detoxify the body. It is important to wash beets before cooking to prevent them from producing stains. You don’t have to peel beets because the skin can rub off easily after cooking. Doing this can also help retain the color and nutrients of the veggies. [4]
