I,ve just read that when beetroot is improperly stored, it beocmes harmful to the body as the nitrate is changed to nitrite, so h what is the best way to store them if raw or cooked? I ve been having stomach pains everyday anytime, just under my right side under my ribs, and feeling so acidic for the past week, is my eating of beetroot blended with other fruits and veg. got to do with it?
