Overview - The common garden beet is a plant we all know and some of us love for the deep red tuber greens that taste similar to spinach. The cultivation of beets dates all the way back to the 8th century B.C. in the Mediterranean and has hybridized for different growth characteristics. Different kinds of Chard are related to beets, grown for their leaves as well as the Sugar Beet, which began being cultivated commercially in Germany in the 18th century when it was discovered that it had a very high sucrose content and was a great source for table sugar. All the various cultures that have ever cultivated beets prized them for their nutritive and medicinal properties. In Eastern Europe Beet Soup is very common and the author was raised on a delicious one made by his Polish Grandmother!
You may ask...How many beets does it take to make 1 lb of Beet Root Powder? It takes approximately 70 3-4 inch beets, cleaned, cut and dried.

Not as "sweet" as beet root juice powder but......
Posted by Sam from ABQ on 7th Feb 2017
I didn't know what to expect after I had finished some really good (and a bit pricey) beet root juice powder. My first glass I mixed a couple of tablespoons with water, stirred, drank and a lot of the larger particles ended up on and between my teeth. (that's why we have water piks, right?). Did that a couple of times and decided to use my hand mixer and create a smoothie with protein powder, frozen pineapple or strawberries, almond milk, pecans and plain yogurt. Huge difference! I allowed the hand blender to reduce the larger particles to something much smaller and the results were quite delicious! So smoothies are better than just mixing it with water.

I am so ecstatic that I found beet root powder that is made in the USA and not some foreign country. Received my beet root powder and it is AWESOME!!!! So fresh and the color is off the charts. It smells really good compared to other product that I have purchased from other stores like Mountain Rose and Starwest. A MUST HAVE!!!

beautiful rich color and texture
Posted by palacekelly on on 7th Oct 2015
I used this to make organic , edible lipstick so I can only speak to the beautiful rich color and texture but not to taste or nutrition. I was very pleased with it , the way that it was packaged and that it came to me quickly. Another great feature is that I did not have to buy an oversized package and was allowed to purchase a small amount of this beautiful rich product. I was most happy that this is made in the USA. Thank you very much for providing a great product!

Beets, when you can't eat one more
Posted by Unknown on 15th Mar 2015
This product is unmistakable beets, you can taste them. Interesting fact was we were sick when it arrived and a sample of sore throat tea was sent to us (perfect timing). I had prepared the tea and my son suggested we add some beet, it worked wonderfully (may not taste as good now we are well). So now I can drink my beets with other fruits and veggies I want year round without it being canned. Also doubled as makeup one day (worked ok). TY so much. Janet
