The well-documented health benefits of a diet high in fruit and vegetables have led to a growing interest in so-called “functional foods” and their application in health and disease. In recent years, the root vegetable Beta vulgaris rubra, otherwise known as red beetroot (herein referred to as beetroot) has attracted much attention as a health-promoting functional food. While scientific interest in beetroot has only gained momentum in the past few decades, reports of its use as a natural medicine date back to Roman times. Today, beetroot is grown in many countries worldwide, is regularly consumed as part of the normal diet, and is commonly used in manufacturing as a food coloring agent. Beetroot Powder is rich in antioxidants, dietary fiber, calcium, iron, potassium, folate (vitamin B9), and manganese, along with other nutrients. Beetroot Powder provides numerous health benefits, including improved blood flow, lower blood pressure, and increased exercise performance.
