The reddish, purplish colored edible taproots are known by various names...beetroot, beets and garden beet. They are rich in potassium, magnesium, iron, vitamins, minerals etc etc....Can be eaten raw or cooked. Beets can reduce stroke, heart attack and blood pressure; it is the best anti oxidant; boosts the decline in mental power; beets help the body to utilize the calcium consumed in the proper way to provide the right strength to the bones and make them stronger; controls cholesterol; can be called the best energy provider and nutrient supplier; controls blood sugar...not only these...beets make your skin glow!!!
So..what are packed inside these rolls??? the soft paneer aka cottage cheese, which provides instant energy, strengthens bones and teeth, prevents from skeletal deformation, is very high in protein and improves metabolism.
