In Polish, the word burak (beetroot) is also used as a derogatory term for someone from the countryside (“country bumpkin”) or someone behaving boorishly. Beetroot, especially fermented/sour beetroot, is one of the healthiest vegetables. It is recommended for treating anaemia, constipation and hypertension, it cleanses the body and lowers acidity. It is cheap and easy to prepare, a natural probiotic, and a cure for many ailments.
