What’s Happening
A fundamental characteristic of beets is the rich pigmentation they offer.
Earlier this month, the FDA announced a 🚨 ban on red dye No. 3🚨. This announcement has welcomed the conversation of utilizing natural replacements for red food coloring.
BEETROOT RED
Beetroot red, or betanin, is the pigment produced from root extraction in red beets, called betacyanin. Beet juices are made up of naturally occurring sugars, salts, and proteins, providing an additional benefit to utilizing beetroot as a natural color. Dehydrated beets offer a dark red powder when prepared with mature, high quality beets.
