Beet Root Powder - Organic
Beet root powder is made from the root of the beet plant and has been used in various cultures as a staple in traditional dishes to nourish families worldwide for centuries.
Beet root powder is believed to be one of the earliest forms of tonic food used by humans, and its use dates back to ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome, and the Middle East.
Beetroot powder is a quality source of constituents thought to provide nourishment.
For centuries, people have used it to support well-being, and in modern times, it is becoming increasingly popular with those looking to improve their overall performance.
This product is 100% natural and minimally processed. Taste, smell, texture, and color vary from batch to batch. Due to its nature, this powder tends to clump. If clumping occurs, lay the bag on a flat surface and place a towel over the bag. Then pound on the bag until the clumps break up. The towel will help protect the bag from damage.
Suggested Use: One tablespoon twice daily. One tablespoon of powder provides the nutrition of one beet. Use to add flavor, color, and nutrition to any recipe.
Mixing suggestion: To increase flavor and nutritional profile, combine with our organic carrot and spinach powder.
