There are some that are similar but it's best to eat from a diverse pool of foods .

Beets are nutritionally awesome. Beets are an excellent source of folate. Beets are good sources of potassium and vitamin C. Low in calories and fat free.

They are a nutritionally dense food. I struggle with low iron so I need more vegetables that contain vitamin C to eat with other iron rich foods to help with iron absorption.

I am also trying to teach some small children how to eat from a diverse selection of foods and that there are more vegetables in the world than green beans.

So because i know that...I really want to like beets. I also want to like eggplant. i have a hard time there also. :P
