What it is

Beet root juice is a liquid extract made from beets, a root vegetable. The vibrant red or purple color comes from natural pigments called betalains. It is produced by pressing or juicing whole beets.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use beet root juice primarily as a natural food coloring agent to impart red, pink, or purple hues. It is found in a variety of foods, including beverages, yogurt, confectionery, and snacks, where a natural color source is desired.

Health notes

Beet root juice is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food ingredient. It is a source of nitrates, which the body can convert to nitric oxide, potentially supporting blood vessel function. International bodies like EFSA have evaluated betalains, the pigments in beet juice, and found them to be safe. Evidence on significant health effects from the amounts typically consumed in food is limited.

Allergen info

Beet root juice is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
