Tofu, mushroom and beetroot burger

This is the ultimate veggie burger: tofu, mushroom and beetroot. These are crammed with the good stuff and they taste amazing.

Beetroot is rich in antioxidants, particularly a group of antioxidants called betalains. Responsible for the vibrant colour of beetroot, betalains have been found to have potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

In addition to this, studies suggest that the nitrates present in beetroot may improve exercise performance and endurance.
