Thanks for resurrecting this question! Yellow beets and red beets are both nutritional powerhouses, but you are right that the yellow-orange hue of yellow beets offers some different benefits when compared to red beets. Yellow beets have more vitamin C and A, beta-carotene, and lycopene. Aside from nutrition, they also taste less “earthy” and are easier to peel.
