What it is

Organic Red Beet Powder is a natural coloring agent made from dried and ground organic red beets. Beets are root vegetables grown for their edible taproot, which is typically deep red in color. The powder is created by dehydrating the beets and then finely milling them into a powder form.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use organic red beet powder primarily as a natural food coloring to impart a vibrant red or pink hue to products. It is often found in foods like chips, pretzels, yogurt, ketchup, mustard, and sauces, providing a visually appealing color without artificial dyes.

Health notes

Organic Red Beet Powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food coloring. It is a source of natural compounds found in beets, such as betalains, which are antioxidants. International bodies like EFSA have evaluated beet pigments for safety. At typical consumption levels in food, it is not associated with adverse health effects.

Allergen info

Not a major allergen. It is derived from a vegetable and does not contain gluten.
