Certified organic whole beetroot powder, independently tested and found to contain 36.4 mg of naturally occurring nitrate per gram. A vibrant, versatile superfood for smoothies, baking and natural food colouring all year round.
Why
Made from whole beetroot (Beta vulgaris), including the fibre, this powder gives you fresh beetroot in a convenient, shelf-stable form. Unlike many beetroot powders, it has been tested by an independent laboratory for nitrate content, so you know exactly what you're getting. Dietary nitrate is found naturally in vegetables like beetroot, and the body converts it into nitric oxide. Each 5 g serve contains 182 mg of naturally occurring nitrate. Certified organic, with no colourings or preservatives, and GM free.

Storage and Warnings
