The beetroot powder is ideal for coloring homemade pasta, ice cream and drinks. The beetroot has a sweet and light earthy aroma. The natural colour of the beetroot is often used for coloring food. It should be mentioned that the natural dye loses its resistance when it is very hot.

Beetroot is a classic winter vegetable. The edge consists of a gray-brown tuber and leaves that can sprout up to 1.5 meters. The pulp of the tuber has a red-violet color and is mainly processed into salad and soup. The beetroot leaves are not used in the kitchen. It is grown in the temperate zones around the globe. Since the bulb grows above ground, it is very sensitive to frost and is therefore harvested before the first frost. The deep red color of the beetroot comes from the high concentration of glycoside betanin it contains.
