According to a 2021 peer-reviewed science article "Beetroot as a functional food with huge health benefits: Antioxidant, antitumor, physical function, and chronic metabolomics activity," the beetroot has long been used as a traditional cuisines in Europe. According to the database displays in the US Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service, beetroot is not only rich in proteins (1.68 g), carbohydrates (9.96 g), fat (0.18 g), amino acids (1.216 g), fatty acids (0.119 g), phytosterols (0.025 g), minerals (0.483 g), and fibers (2 g) per 100 g of wet weight, but also contains a lot of biologically active phytonutrients. The contents of vitamins and nitrate are 4.805 mg and 25 mg per 100 g of wet weight respectively. 3.976 g/100 g of betalains (2.075 g/100 g of betacyanins and 1.901 g/100 g of betaxanthins) and 0.1899 g/100 g of phenolic are produced in dry extract of beetroot.

These bioactive phytonutrients have been proven as key ingredients for the treatment of some chronic diseases including cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, cancer, diabetes, and chronic respiratory diseases. For instance, betalains (mainly betanin) are the effective antioxidant extracted from beetroot.
