Also known as Beet Powder. It consists of dried and ground beets, and is a bright pink or red color. Incorporating beet root powder in smoothies, sauces, baked goods or anything else you eat adds calcium, iron , potassium and magnesium to your diet. Beet root powder contains nitrate, known to help regulate a healthy blood flow. The nitrate in beet powder may also help improve athletic performance by increasing the amount of oxygen we can use while exercising, according to research. Other benefits include lowering blood pressure and blood sugar levels.
