BEETROOT!
Beetroot (Beta vulgaris) is a root vegetable also known as red beet, table beet, garden beet, or just beet.
The raw roots are delicious but are more frequently cooked or pickled. Their leaves known as beet greens can also be eaten.
Beets come in different colors like pink, orange, white but are most commonly known for their deep reddish/purple color.
If you are in Kano, find your way to Yankura or European market (kasuwa turai) for your beetroots and add to your Jollof rice, salad, coleslaw or make a smoothie.
NOTE: Be moderate in consuming this root veggie because of its high sugar content.
