Freeze-dried powdered beet
Description
Freeze-dried beet powder is an intensely pink-red, fine powder with a concentrated, sweet-earthy flavor and a subtle hint of spiciness. It serves well in appearance and aroma as both a natural coloring agent and an ingredient that adds a delicate sweetness and depth of flavor to dishes. It is a concentrated source of natural compounds such as betalains (powerful antioxidants), nitrates, folic acid, potassium, and vitamin C, with low calorie content and virtually zero fat. Regular use in moderate amounts may support vascular health, immunity, and physical performance due to its anti-inflammatory and vasodilatory effects. In the kitchen, the powder is used in smoothies, soups, dips, baked goods, pasta, or dressings, where it adds color and flavor without thinning the dish. Store it in a sealed, opaque container in a dry, cool place away from moisture; after opening, it is advisable to include a desiccant and use it within a few months.
