Beetroot powder

Beetroot powder is a vibrant ingredient made from dried and ground beetroot. Beetroot is a root vegetable that is dark red or purple in colour. The powder is created by dehydrating beetroot and then grinding it into a fine powder. It is commonly used as a natural food colouring and flavouring agent.

To make beetroot powder, fresh beetroots are cleaned, peeled, and dehydrated using low heat. Once the beetroots are dried, they are ground into a fine powder. This process helps to preserve the vibrant color and nutrients found in fresh beetroot. The powder can then be added to a variety of foods and beverages for both colour and flavour enhancement.

Beetroot powder is often used in food products for its natural red colour and earthy flavour. You may find it in products like smoothies, cakes, soups, sauces, and even pasta. It can be used to add a pop of colour to dishes or to enhance the natural sweetness of certain foods. Additionally, beetroot powder is valued for its potential health benefits, as beetroots are rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
