  I’m guessing either because it looks like blood, or because it contains actually a lot of metal in terms of minerals…?

  I really don’t know, if it contains the most amount of metal among veggies, though. Apparently, it does contain a noteworthy amount of manganese.
  And I just compared it to potatoes and green beans, and well, it seems to contain rather much iron and sodium, but magnesium, zinc, copper, potassium are fairly average.

  Beetroot
  Potato
  Green Beans
