Would make a great dye, too!
I made spaghetti this evening and thought, let's try a spoonful of the beet powder in the spaghetti.  I figured I could eat the spaghetti even if the beets changed it too much because spaghetti sauce is spicy and can hold its own.  The sauce did, in fact, hold its own, but man did my sauce get red!!!  The flavor was good, I even took 1/8 teaspoon of the powder, added a bit of water and ate it straight.  It has a hint of sweetness but with that small amount, I didn't taste any "big" flavor to the powder.  I have some frozen strawberries and milk and will try a bit of the beet powder in a smoothie, but I can already tell, it's gonna be really red!!!  Definitely worth a try - I always wanted to like beets as a side dish, but just never acquired a taste for them.  Powdered and added to other foods works for me!
