Beetroot Powder

Beets are a root vegetable – they’re very similar to turnips. When you eat beet slices in your salad, you’re eating pickled or boiled beets…LINK
Although they don’t come up in conversations nearly as often as trendy health foods like kale, beets are actually chock full of vitamins and nutrients.

• Protein
• Fiber
• Vitamin C
• Vitamin B6
• Folate
• Magnesium
• Potassium
• Manganese
• Iron

It doesn’t end there. The root vegetables also contain nitrates and pigment which provide so many of the amazing beetroot powder benefits. You probably already know about “bad” nitrates from foods like heavily processed meats. Nitrates from plant sources, however, contain antioxidants so they turn into helpful nitric oxide which protects the heart.

An average serving of beets contains anywhere from 3% to 16% of your recommended daily intake of the nutrients above. However, beetroot powder contains higher concentrations of all these incredible substances.

Just one teaspoon of your average beetroot powder is the equivalent of an entire beet. You can add beetroot powder to smoothies, baked goods, soups, and other recipes to provide nutrients and a subtle sweet flavor.
