About Beetroot patty

Beetroot patty is a plant-based food item made primarily from grated or mashed beetroot, often combined with legumes, grains, and spices. Originating from vegetarian and vegan culinary traditions, beetroot patties are popular in global cuisines for their vibrant color, earthy flavor, and rich nutritional content. Beetroot is a nutrient-dense vegetable, high in fiber, vitamin C, folate (B9), manganese, and antioxidants such as betanin. Typically low in fat and calories, beetroot patties make a heart-healthy and nutrient-packed alternative to traditional meat patties. They are versatile and can be enjoyed as a burger substitute, in wraps, or with salads.

Health Benefits

• Rich in folate (B9) which supports cell function and tissue growth; one medium beet provides about 20% of the daily recommended intake.
• High in dietary fiber, supporting digestive health and aiding in regular bowel movements; one cup of beetroot contains around 3.8g of fiber.
• Contains nitrates that convert to nitric oxide in the body, improving blood flow and lowering blood pressure naturally.
• Packed with antioxidants such as betalains, which help combat oxidative stress and inflammation.
• Good source of manganese, essential for bone health and metabolism, with 0.4mg per 100g serving.

Dietary Considerations

Allergens: Contains wheat (if breadcrumbs are used), soy (if added as a binder)

Suitable for: Vegan, vegetarian

Not suitable for: Gluten-free (if wheat-based ingredients are used), low-oxalate diets (due to naturally high oxalate levels)

Selection and Storage

Store prepared beetroot patties in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To freeze, separate patties with parchment paper and store in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months.

Common Questions About Beetroot patty Nutrition

Is beetroot patty high in protein?

Beetroot patties are typically moderate to low in protein, with around 2-4 grams of protein per 100 grams, depending on ingredients like beans or quinoa used in the recipe. They are primarily valued for their fiber and nutrient content rather than being a high-protein option.

Can I eat beetroot patty on a keto diet?

Beetroot patties are generally not suitable for a strict keto diet as beets are relatively high in carbohydrates, providing about 7-9 grams of carbs per 100 grams. However, recipes with low-carb binders and additional keto-friendly ingredients may be customized to fit a moderate low-carb diet.

What are the health benefits of eating beetroot patty?

Beetroot patties are rich in antioxidants like betalains, dietary fiber, and essential vitamins such as folate and vitamin C. They may support heart health, improve digestion, and provide anti-inflammatory benefits, but the carbohydrate content should be considered for those monitoring their blood sugar.

What is a recommended serving size for beetroot patty?

A typical serving size for a beetroot patty is about 80-120 grams, which equals one medium-sized patty. Pairing it with a source of protein or healthy fats, such as a salad with nuts or avocado, can create a more balanced meal.

How does beetroot patty compare to a traditional meat patty?

Beetroot patties are lower in protein and fat compared to traditional meat patties but are higher in dietary fiber and certain antioxidants. They are an excellent option for vegetarians or those looking to incorporate more plant-based meals into their diet, though they may require complementary protein sources for a balanced meal.
