Recipe For Pickled Beetroot With Caraway Recipe

Head straight on to the Recipe For Pickled Beetroot ♥
Before I move on to my post about pickled beetroot I want to discuss more sugar alternatives. I wrote about using xylitol as a substitute. The reason I personally do not use xylitol is a long story. I was contacted by a local health guru telling me fructose was bad for my health and I must change to xylitol. She could not offer me proof to back up her statement and was merely trying to get my to purchase her product. Prohibitive cost aside I have recently been informed that xylitol is highly toxic to animals and so would not risk having it in my house. My Boxer is known to eat anything she can get to. This very same person has now moved on to erythritol as her new product. Given that it caused by bakes to turn mouldy I do not use it.

For people who can tolerate sucrose, molasses is a great alternative. Molasses is a by-product of sugar manufacturing and is highly nutritious. Blackstrap molasses is a good source of iron and calcium. It is best used in baking and has a moderate glycaemic index. Molasses has 75g of carbohydrates per 100 grams. I have friends who are on low carbohydrate diets and when doing research I discovered that beetroot contains 10g of carbohydrates per 100 grams. As an aside, it is not highly recommended for people who suffer from kidney stones. This puts me in a quandary as I love beetroot, especially when roasted. Served up with a dash of horseradish and I have a great side dish. I made my pickled beetroot very crunchy as Dave won’t eat it. He does not like the way his plate changes colour. Tonight I will experiment with roasting it.
