What it is

Beet juice concentrate is a natural food coloring made from beets. The beets are pressed to extract their juice, which is then concentrated to create a vibrant red or purple colorant.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use beet juice concentrate to add red, pink, or purple color to foods. It is commonly found in dairy products like ice cream and yogurt, as well as in pickled vegetables and fruit-flavored items.

Health notes

Beet juice concentrate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food colorant. It is a source of betalains, which are antioxidants. Regulatory bodies like EFSA have evaluated betalains, and they are permitted for use in the EU. No significant health concerns are associated with its consumption at typical dietary levels.

Allergen info

Beet juice concentrate is not derived from any of the 9 major allergens and does not contain gluten.
