So, what is beet-red?
Beet-red is a natural food colorant derived from beets, a root vegetable known for its deep red hue. The color is extracted from the juice of the beets and used to add a vibrant red color to a variety of foods, such as sauces, dressings, baked goods, and beverages. Not only is beet-red a visually appealing colorant, but it also provides health benefits due to the high concentration of antioxidants and nutrients found in beets. This natural food coloring is an excellent alternative to synthetic dyes, as it is free from harmful additives and preservatives.
