Please tell me that beetroot leaves are edible??  I thought I'd read it was OK somewhere and have made this smoothie with bananas, celery, lettuce and beetroot leaves which I am currently drinking (looks like a chocolate milkshake only crunchy!)... so hope its OK? rolleyes I s'pose time will tell...

Anyone know of the iron content of beetroot leaves?

Thanks Neet!  It actually tastes like a chocolate smoothie, sort of  cheesy I don't mind the crunchiness - our blender's not the best so I'm used to it!  I'm on the waiting list for VB's Green for Life through the RP shop - can't wait to get my copy and devour it!

I've eaten beet root leaves my entire life!! I'm still here. I imagine they would be quite high in iron.

1 cup (38 g) has 5% of the RDA for iron according to:

Enjoy!
