Beet root cut

Description: Beta vulgaris is the plump, earthy-yet-sweet root commonly known and enjoyed as a vegetable. For centuries, beet root, which is also commonly spelled as beetroot, has been highly regarded in various cultures for its nutritive and wellness-supporting qualities. Beets are commonly consumed as a vegetable while also providing healthful properties. Our dried organic beet root is delicious in soups, stews, and herbal infusions or simply enjoyed as is.

Beets have been around for thousands of years and beet greens were commonly eaten in ancient Egypt and Rome. Although the leaves were enjoyed for many centuries, the root itself was not widely consumed until French chefs recognized its culinary potential in the early 19th century. However, charred beet roots were found among Neolithic remains at an excavation site in the Netherlands. In ancient times, beets had elongated roots like carrots and the globular red beet we now eat was only hybridized about 300 years ago. Beets have the highest sugar content of all the vegetables and have been popularized as a sweetening substitute, earning it the name of sugar beet. Beet juice and beet powder are used to flavor carrot, celery, and other vegetable juices. Beet juice is also utilized as a natural coloring agent in a variety of foods.
