What is this food?
Boiled beet (root vegetable) — a colorful, naturally sweet vegetable served cooked and soft. Per 100g, it has about 45 kcal and contains carbs with fiber.
Why it matters to health
Beets can support digestive health because they provide dietary fiber (about 2g per 100g), which helps you feel fuller and keeps your meals more balanced. They also have very low fat and low cholesterol, making them a good choice to pair with rice, viand, or ulam. For sodium, boiled beets have about 77 mg per 100g, so they’re generally fine as part of everyday meals—just keep an eye on sodium from sauces (like bagoong, patis, or salty soup) if you’re watching salt intake.
Healthier tips
- Use beets as a side or mix into your ulam/vegetable salad to add color and fiber.
- For a balanced day (3 meals + 1–2 snacks), aim to include a serving of vegetables like beets at least once or twice daily, especially with your main meals.
- If you’re pairing with rice, keep the rice portion steady and let the beet add volume and fiber to your plate.
- Choose boiled or lightly cooked versions; avoid heavy sugar or creamy toppings.
