What it is
Red beet concentrate is a natural food coloring made from red beets (Beta vulgaris). The beets are typically juiced, and then the color is concentrated through evaporation or other methods to create a stable, vibrant red hue.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use red beet concentrate to add or enhance red, pink, or purple colors in foods. It is often found in dairy products like yogurt and ice cream, as well as cereals and baked goods.
Health notes
Red beet concentrate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food coloring. It is primarily composed of betalains, which are antioxidants. Regulatory bodies like EFSA have evaluated beet red coloring. There is no evidence to suggest adverse health effects at typical consumption levels.
Allergen info
Red beet concentrate is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
