Yes, raw beetroot is fine, but it's much safer to steam or boil it slightly to kill any bacteria on the skin. It's amazing for hemoglobin, so definitely include it in your salads, just wash it thoroughly!
Beetroot is great for iron, but make sure to wash and peel it extremely well if eating raw. Also, keep track of your regular thyroid tests and gynac visits, as nutritional needs can vary if your thyroid levels are fluctuating.
I am also trying to conceive and heard beetroot is very good for building blood. Raw might have some soil germs, so maybe peeling it really well or boiling it slightly would be safer. Wishing you a healthy journey!
You can eat it, it's a super cheap and healthy way to keep your hemoglobin high. Keeping your blood levels good saves you from expensive iron IV drips and extra hospital bills later during delivery! Just boil it a bit to be safe.
Personally, I avoided raw veggies because of the risk of stomach bugs, so I always boiled my beetroot and made a nice raita out of it. It tasted great and kept my digestion very happy!
