First time i got introduced to this healthy sweet beetroot recipe in Pune’s naturopathy center, they have made beet root laddos from this halva and it was really yummy. When I come back home I was pretty sure that I m going to make it. Beetroot is not a costly vegetable and it has lots of health benefits. Most of women are anemic and at the time of pregnancy the hemoglobin level goes down, it’s not beetroots color that make red blood cells!!But beetroot contains lot of iron which helps in the formation of hemoglobin. Beetroot also keeps diabetes under check, reduces bad cholesterol & good for brain.

They eat it after their meal or in evening snacks. I have explained step by step recipe of beet root halva, this recipe is very easy and similar to Carrot halwa recipe.
