12. Beets

Beets are a healthy food high in simple carbs. Foods with simple carbs, like veggies, beans, and beets, are unprocessed and contain naturally sourced fiber — and don't have the added sugar of complex carbohydrates. Dietary guidelines suggest half of a person's daily calories come from carbohydrates, and a beet gets 89% of its calories from carbs. Eating a beet salad is an excellent way to reap the benefits of this healthy food.
