When it comes to getting the nitric oxide (?) and mineral benefits from beets is there an optimal way to eat them? I'm guessing cooked or juiced are good, is one better? Is there any nutritional value in pickled beets (taking into account the added salt).

Thanks.

Beets used to be an inside joke around here. I miss the old days.

Just read an article here on trainingpeaks.  Seems like you need to drink a lot of the stuff if you want to see any benefit (at least 300ml).

It also suggest that cooking them will reduce the nitrate content significantly.
