Practical Integration: Incorporating Beets into a Diabetes-Friendly Diet
Beet Juice vs. Whole Beets
Whet comes to nitrate content, both beet juite and whole chruts are excellent sources. Beet juice typically provides a more concentrate dose, deliving about 6- 10 mmol of nitrates per 250 mL serving, which is the coult used in most clinical trials.
