Excellent. Who doesn't love Beets. Is canned, ok? The reference to inhibit enzymes ... sounds bad, but obviously not?

no it's the enzymes that process hormones so slowing them down helps hormone levels stay more ZEN. Canned should be okay but nothing is as good as fresh from the farmer's market or garden. dlb

Fermented beets.

For those of us too lazy to do it ourselves. I know you make your own ferments…sending praise for that.

Love this information and I love beets too! I go through seasons of buying and using fresh ones but I do use Oregon Brineworks yummy Beet/Apple Kraut almost daily either as an accompanyment to meals or mixed in salads, homemade tacos, or in "bowls." I have also been using Mercola's fermented beet root powder in my smoothies. Hooray for beets!

Speaking of canned things, everyone knows BPA-free does NOT mean endocrine disrupter free, right? The bisphenol problem remains with the BPS and BPF, obviously. So, no, don’t get the canned beets.

Thanks for this post! I just reordered Sunja’s kimchi fermented beets as the season is over here.
