Did you know?
When added to a cake mix, beetroot creates a thick, creamy texture. It also allows you to reduce the sugar and fat content of the cake. An excellent source of vitamins (A, K, B) and various minerals (Magnesium) and trace elements (Iron), it increases the nutritional value of the cake without distorting the flavour.
Nutritional advice
by Sylvie DEJARDINNutri-Challenge
A great way to get children to eat beetroot without them even noticing.
An interesting alternative to industrial snack foods, which often contain fractionated ingredients derived from wheat, milk or soya. These are known as UPF, or ultra-processed foods, which are generally harmful to health.
It is best to prepare your own snacks to avoid the use of palm oil, additives, salt and refined sugar.
