Extreme Veteran  1106   , Connecticut |  Subject: Beets - pickled, raw, juiced, cooked?When it comes to getting the nitric oxide (?) and mineral benefits from beets is there an optimal way to eat them? I'm guessing cooked or juiced are good, is one better? Is there any nutritional value in pickled beets (taking into account the added salt). Thanks. |

It also suggest that cooking them will reduce the nitrate content significantly.
