    Waitrose, a retailer, points out that beetroot, which is rich in antioxidants, has been highlighted by the researchers as a way to reduce blood pressure and improve endurance, boosting beetroot juice sales in the UK The supermarket points out that the sales of beetroot juice have increased by 82% in the past 12 months, and the sales of bundled beetroot and packed beetroot have increased by 15% and 22% respectively, because this sumptuous vegetable has become a small fashion in the big restaurants in London and other places Waitrose began selling beetroot in 2006, but only in 2008 did research show its effect on reducing blood pressure and improving endurance, which was announced last year by researchers at Exeter University, and sales have increased rapidly since then The increase of public awareness of super fruit and its antioxidant effect also promote its sales Waitrose sells three types of beetroot juice and mixes them with apple juice Beetroot ranges from 12% to 90% James White drinks, a British company, once sold a juice called beet (formerly known as heart beet) in Sainsbury, Waitrose, Morrison and Holland and Barrett stores, and recently launched a 70ml "one-time" sexual type Recently, Lawrence Mallinson, sales manager of James White drinks, told food manufacturers: "MD Holland & Barrett is ready to test our new 70ml type, which will replace red bull and this type of drink as a healthy drink The company changed its name from beet to beet in 2009, fearing that the name of the previous product would be understood as a health product in EU regulations Beetroot contains high content of nitrate, which can be used as a factor against blood coagulation Exeter University research shows that beetroot intake can double the level of nitrate in the blood Nitrate can reduce the amount of oxygen needed by muscles, so it can improve endurance Spinach is another kind of vegetable which contains a lot of nitrate, but because of the flavor problem, its juice has not reached a commercially feasible form, so it is difficult to enter the market.
