Beet

Beet has one of the highest sugar levels of any vegetable, with the equivalent of 1 teaspoon of natural fruit sugar in each 4-ounce portion of beets, so it gives a great energy boost. It also contains folates, vitamin C, and potassium, which help to regulate blood pressure and nerve function.
