Beet juice ranges from bright magenta to deep crimson in
color. The colorful drink is made from beets, which have the scientific
name Beta vulgaris. Because beets come from the root portion of the
plant, beet juice is also sometimes called beetroot juice.
Beet powder, also called beetroot powder, is a similarly
bright pink or red product made from dried, ground beets. Beet powder is often
advertised as a superfood and sold by natural food retailers.
Beet powder can be mixed with water to create a juice. It can
also be added to smoothies, sauces, or baked goods. Beet powder is growing in
popularity as a natural health-boosting supplement.
People are drawn to beet juice and powder for nutritional
reasons, and many people also enjoy the taste. Beets generally have an earthy,
bitter flavor. Many people enjoy the flavor of beet juice on its own while some
prefer to mix beet juice or beet powder with sweet or fresh flavors.
Health
Benefits
In addition to vitamins and minerals, beet juice and powder
also contain nitrates. Nitrates are
a naturally-occurring substance found in beets and many other vegetables.
Dietary nitrate helps improve vascular function, or healthy blood flow.
Some of the many health benefits of beet juice and beet
powder include:
Athletic
performance
Drinking
beet juice may improve athletic performance and exercise endurance. In a recent
study, drinking beet juice daily improved the performance of 12 trained
bicyclists. Another study showed that elite distance runners
benefitted from regularly drinking beet juice. Beet juice has this effect
because it contains nitrates, which increase the amount of oxygen a person can
use while engaged in heavy exercise.
Drinking
beet juice may help lower blood pressure in people with hypertension, or high
blood pressure. The nitrates in beet juice help lower blood pressure and
improve blood flow. Lowering your blood pressure can help protect you from
heart attacks and stroke.
Studies
have shown drinking beet juice may help people maintain lower blood sugar
levels after eating. Beet juice may help people with obesity be more sensitive
to insulin and reduce their blood sugar levels. Although further research is
needed, these results could be promising for people with diabetes or other
issues related to blood sugar.
How to Prepare Beet
Juice and Beet Powder
To
prepare beet juice, you may either juice beets yourself or buy beet juice from
many grocery and health food stores.
If
you want to juice beets yourself, wash the beets, cut them into chunks, then
put them through a juicer. Beets do not need to be cooked before juicing.
People often juice ginger or lemon with beets to improve the flavor.
Beet
powder might be a little harder to find than beet juice. Most natural foods
stores carry beet powder or you may be able to order it online from natural
supplement retailers.
Beet
powder and beet juice can be enjoyed in a variety of ways.
Beet juice
is a source of calcium, iron, and potassium. All
three minerals are important to keep your body healthy and in good shape.
Beet powder also contains the essential minerals iron, potassium,
and magnesium.
