Beets, cooked, boiled, drained

See GFA Page for explanation of Gout Food Analysis Pages.

Description

Beets (beetroot) have above average nutritional value, let down slightly due to the high natural sugars. The healthiest part is actually the leaves.

8 references in USDA nutrition database:

Beets, raw
Beets, cooked, boiled. drained, with salt
Beets, cooked, boiled, drained
Beets, canned, regular pack, solids and liquids
Beets, harvard, canned, solids and liquids
Beets, canned, drained solids
Beets, pickled, canned, solids and liquids
Beets, canned, no salt added, solids and liquids

I’ve selected the values for Beets, cooked, boiled, drained as the nearest choice of what most people would eat. The nutritional values for the same type of beets with salt are identical. Canned varieties have lower nutrient values, and hence a higher PRAL value, but are still quite good sources of alkalizing food.
