What it is

Organic beet powder is made from dried, ground organic beets. Beets are root vegetables grown for their edible taproot and leaves. The powder is created by dehydrating the beets and then grinding them into a fine powder.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use organic beet powder primarily as a natural food coloring agent, imparting a vibrant red or pink hue. It is often found in products like pasta, baked goods, beverages, and dressings where a natural colorant is desired.

Health notes

Organic beet powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food ingredient. It is a source of nutrients like folate and manganese. International bodies like EFSA have evaluated beet preparations, and JECFA has evaluated beet red (betanin) and set an acceptable daily intake. At typical consumption levels, it is not associated with adverse health effects.

Allergen info

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