What it is
Beetroot is the deep red root of the beet plant. When it is dried and ground, the powder keeps its rich color. Food makers use it to tint candies, drinks and baked goods without artificial dyes.
Where it comes from
Farmers grow beets in cool, moist soil. After harvest, makers wash, slice and dry the roots, then grind them. The JelluTide label lists beet root powder as the last of its other ingredients.
