Description

Science says beets' anti-cancer chemicals inhibit skin, lung and liver tumors in mice. Beets also may help the heart by lowering artery-damaging homocysteine. You can use canned beets, but freshly cooked ones retain more nutrients.

Ingredients
  • 6 medium beets
  • 1 cup orange juice
  • 2 tablespoons candied ginger
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • ½ cup walnuts
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Directions
  1. 1. Scrub beets, leaving on root and 1 inch of stem. Place beets in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer 45 to 60 minutes or until tender. Drain.
  2. 2. Remove skins and cut beets into wedges. In a saucepan, combine remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil; simmer until thickened. Add beets and toss.
