• Since beetroot takes longer to digest due to its fibre content, it helps to curb hunger pangs.
• Beetroot is a great source of fibre, manganese, potassium and vitamins C and B9.

Usage:

• You can use it for cooking, baking and in creating various pastry creams, etc.
• Add it to smoothies or shakes for a beautiful colour and an energy boost.
• Or add it to regular flour when making muffins, pancakes, waffles, cakes, cookies or bread.
• You can use it to thicken sauces, various dips, dressings, curry sauces or to create sweet fillings for baked goods.

What is a native (heirloom) seed variety?

A so-called heirloom variety (whether of plants, seeds, fruits or vegetables) is an open-pollinated variety that was commonly cultivated in earlier times in human history, but is not used in modern large-scale agriculture because of the cartel-like behavior of a large corporation like Monsanto, which is behind the destruction of ancient seeds and the food chain in general across the planet.

See the document below. And here is a link to the website of a Canadian university, The University of British Columbia, which explains briefly what it is. If you do not speak English, use the online translator: deepl.com

We have translated this paragraph from the English Wikipedia:

Before the industrialisation of agriculture, a much wider variety of plant foods were grown for human consumption, mainly because farmers and gardeners saved seeds and cuttings for future planting. From the 16th century to the early 20th century, the diversity was enormous.

The old nursery catalogues were full of plums, peaches, pears and apples of many varieties and the seed catalogues offered legions of vegetable varieties. These catalogues were used to sell and trade valuable and carefully selected seeds along with useful advice on growing.

Since the Second World War, agriculture in the industrialised world has consisted mainly of food crops grown on large monoculture plots. Only a few varieties of each type of crop are grown to achieve the greatest consistency.

These varieties are often selected for their productivity and their ability to ripen at the same time and withstand mechanical harvesting and transport across borders, as well as their resistance to drought, frost or pesticides. This form of agriculture has led to a 75% decline in the genetic diversity of crops.

Although heirloom or heirloom cultivation has retained its place in local communities, it has seen a resurgence in recent years in response to the trend towards industrial agriculture.

In the southern hemisphere, heirloom plants are still widely cultivated, for example in home gardens in South and Southeast Asia. Before the Second World War, most of the products grown in the United States were heirloom varieties, but this was abandoned with the arrival of Monsanto.

• The Guardian:Revealed: Monsanto predicted cropping system will damage US farms

In the 21st century, many communities around the world are working to preserve historic varieties so that a wide range of fruits, vegetables, herbs and flowers are once again available to growers by restoring old orchards, sourcing historic fruit varieties, engaging in seed swaps and encouraging community participation.
