The unusual mammal called the aardvark was named by South Africans in the early 19th century. In the local language, Afrikaans, aardvark means earth pig.. This name aptly describes a large, heavily built animal with thin hair and short, stumpy legs. The scientific name of the aardvark is Orycteropus afer.
Although beets have the highest sugar content of all vegetables, most people can safely eat beet roots a few times a week (and their greens in unlimited quantities), enjoying not only their sweet, earthy flavor but also their powerhouse nutrients that may improve your health in the following ways.
From a purely chemical point of view, the sugar in a sugar beet is identical to the sugar in, for instance, a banana. Dextrose, also known as glucose, is the main component of starch. Dextrose is the sugar type that the body absorbs the fastest. Fructose is the sweetest of all natural sugar types. It is particularly effective at enhancing the flavour of fruit and berries.
