Nutrition Information for Beets

Nutrition Information for Beets

The nutrition information for beets is listed below. I previously shared this information for parsnips, another root vegetable.

I am including some of the nutrition information available on USDA and Wikipedia for beets. Also, I did some rounding.  I am including the items normally listed on the Nutrition Facts Label on food products.

Nutritional Value per 100 g (3.5 oz) of Raw Beets

Calories:              43

Fat:                        0.2 g

Sodium:              78.0 mg         5%

Carbohydrates:     9.6 g

Sugars:                  6.8 g

Dietary Fiber:        2.8 g

Protein:                 1.6 g

Vitamin C:             4.9 mg        6%   – normally the nutrition facts label includes vitamin D

Calcium:              16.0 mg        2%

Iron:                     0.8 mg         6%

Potassium:       325.0 mg         7%

Water                 87.6 g

The percentages above tell you how much a nutrient in a serving of food contributes to a daily diet of 2,000 calories.
