Beetroot powder is made from dried, ground beets. It ranges from bright magenta to deep crimson in colour. Beetroot powder is a versatile substance that has many uses in the kitchen and in the cosmetic industry, finding its place as a natural sweetener, colourant or as a nutritional supplement.
Where do we start with it’s use?! Widely used in Indian cooking, it can also add vibrancy to sweet & sour dishes, pastas and goulashes and extra nutrition to soups and stews. Valuable too when baking, for colouring sponges, icings & buttercreams (great for those with intolerances to artificial colouring). It is also particularly wonderful when added to smoothies & vegetable juice blends! Thought we were done? Nope! It can also be used in hand made soaps, bath bombs and make-up.
In addition to vitamins and minerals, drinking beet juice may help lower blood pressure in people with hypertension, or high blood pressure due to the nitrates in it. It is also great to improve athletic performance and exercise endurance.
Did we mention it’s a superfood?
