Beetroots are such complex things. They’re a vegetable, but personally I like them better as desserts. In fact, I think desserts are the only way I truly enjoy eating beets. So my mother, after realizing she’s never going to get me to eat beetroots in any way savory, decided to cave in (probably the only time ever) and make the Beetroot halwa a regular thing, for my sake. And I wasn’t complaining.

Since then, my tastes have matured a little, so I can now eat savory beets, provided there are other vegetables in play – like in this VEGAN Sweet Potato Burger or in a Veggie Dog. Again, the other vegetables being there is absolutely mandatory. I think it helps me forget this lifelong obsession I’ve had with not eating beets made savory.

But savory or sweet, you cannot deny their beauty or their nutritiousness. They say that foods that look or resemble elements of the human body are extremely good for those parts. Like for example – the walnut resembles the human brain and is in fact extremely good for brain health. The Papaya resembles the female uterus and guess what? It’s absolutely great for women. Similarly, when you slice open the beetroot, you cannot not think about how ‘bloody’ it is. And yes, it works magic on your general cardio vascular health.

So in any way you can, incorporate more beets in your diet. From lowering blood pressure to increased muscle oxygenation, it’s just extremely good for you!

If you’ve been a regular here, you’d know this weird obsession I have with beetroots and the general ‘hiding vegetables in unexpected places’ thing. This Rose Beetroot sorbet happened as one such attempt – trust me, you will not know that these were made with beetroots unless you were told explicitly so and that is largely thanks to the Nielsen Massey Rose Water. I got the Rose water as part of a Blogger Conference ‘swag’ {my FIRST ever blogger conference} and I was waiting to use it for something special – and this sorbet is just everything special. Fragrant. Good-for-you. Unique. Refreshing-as-hell!

Since beets are just naturally earthy, the floral notes of the Rose water just mask it all, enveloping it in a velvety blanket of fragrance you just cannot ignore.

And even if you don’t have an ice-cream maker, it’s fine. Don’t worry, I don’t own one either. Just make sure you blend the freezing beetroot juice twice or thrice as it freezes to aerate and break up the crystallization process. And you’ll have a smooth, creamy (sans any cream or dairy) sorbet to serve and enjoy!

Serve these gorgeous, heady, inviting Rose Beetroot Sorbet on a warm summer’s day (which we’ll have plenty of in the coming months) – lay back on the patio, or by the pool, and enjoy your refreshing sorbet. It’s a treat not just for your taste buds, but for your eyes and nose as well!

When you make these (which I really think you SHOULD!), be sure to SHARE YOUR PHOTOS with me through Facebook, Instagram or Twitter. I’d love to see what you cook from here!
