Cooked beetroot changes from polysaccharide to beet sugar, which makes it taste sweeter and easier to eat. However, the oxalic acid in raw beetroot will be converted into oxalate when cooked, which can easily cause kidney stones. If it is raw and made into vegetable juice, oxalates will not be produced.
So it is recommended to only eat cooked beetroot once a week, not only to enjoy the delicious taste, but also to take care of your health!

Replace medium-sized beetroots (about the size of an apricot) with one tablespoon of beetroot powder;
Replace large-sized beetroots (about the size of a fist) with two tablespoons of beetroot powder .
