Back when I was researching foods to fight cancer, there was a difference between sprouts and the actual vegetable. can't remember which one. I think broccoli. So could there be a difference between roots and the actual beet
I guess Beet Root is another name for Beet...
not roots of the beet.
Beet root from the description in the article is the bulbous end of the beet plant. They grow like turnips and rutabaga and other such vegetables. They have tops that are green ( or greenish). look the English call turnips parsnip and I can tell you those are two very different flavors
