Beet is one of the oldest vegetables. It was known to people as far back as Persia, from where it got to ancient Rome and Greece. Beets were used to treat many different diseases. The vegetable was forbidden to be consumed by people from the lower strata of the population. Beet was even sacrificed to the gods – it was so important to the peoples of the world.
