This study was undertaken to evaluate the nutritional constituents of red beet, golden beet, and chioggia beet cultivated in Korea. Considering color, the golden beet exhibited the highest L and b values, whereas the a value of chioggia beet was significantly higher than other varieties. The average pH was 5.78, which was highest in golden beet and chioggia beet, and the highest soluble solid content was obtained in chioggia beet at 10.70°Bx. Moisture, crude ash and crude fat contents were highest in golden beet, and crude protein was highest in red beet. Chioggia beet showed the highest carbohydrate and dietary fiber contents (10.05 and 2.98%, respectively). Evaluating the major minerals present in beets, the highest levels of K and Na were obtained in red beet (5,533.98 and 789.44 mg/kg). Golden beet contained higher amount of Mg (452.05 mg/kg) than other beets. The content of β-carotene in golden beet was the highest, whereas the B1 content in chioggia beet was 22.84 μg/100 g, which was more than 5.5 times higher than red beet. The major fatty acids of beet were linoleic acid, palmitic acid and oleic acid, and the fatty acid content of chioggia beet was highest. The highest content of free sugar was obtained in chioggia beet, and beet sugars were primarily composed of sucrose (ranging from 4.66 to 5.80 g/100 g). Taken together, our results indicate that beets contain numerous nutrients and have the potential to be used as raw materials for producing foods with nutritional value.
