Beta vulgaris is a root vegetable commonly known as beetroot or garden beet. Beetroot is an herbaceous biennial plant with deep red-purple-colored roots. They are low in calories and rich in B vitamins and minerals. Modern herbal medicine uses beetroot to help lower blood pressure and reduce inflammation. The chemical composition of beetroots has been well characterized. The major compositions of beetroots are betalains, such as betacyanins and betaxanthins and betanins, known as the antioxidants. Betalains have shown effective radical scavenging activities, and another research has demonstrated anti-inflammatory effects on leukocyte signaling and carrageenan-induced paw edema in model animals.
