Red Beet Puree

Red beet puree is made from beets, a root vegetable. The beets are typically cooked, pureed, and sometimes concentrated to create a vibrant red or pink colorant. It is a natural alternative to artificial food dyes.

Manufacturers use red beet puree as a natural food coloring agent to impart red or pink hues. It is often found in products like sauces, yogurts, ice creams, and baked goods where a visually appealing color is desired.

Red beet puree is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food ingredient. It is a source of natural pigments like betalains, which have antioxidant properties. Regulatory bodies like EFSA have evaluated natural colorants, and no specific concerns have been raised regarding typical consumption levels of beet-derived colors.
