Decent product, very expensive juice equivalent
The product is fine, easy to use, that's 5 stars.  But the cost in juice equivalency is astronomical, 1 star.  So I averaged.<br /><br />The suggested dose of 1.5tsp (half a tablespoon) is nowhere near raw juice, which I researched after getting this product.  Most tests using beet juice to improve athletic performance have the subjects drinking 250ml or 500ml/day (1 pint, or 1 quart.) Looking at a straight juice product labe on Amazonl, 8 fl oz has 100 calories.  To get 100 calories from this dried product, you will have to use about 6.7 tablespoons in 8 ounces of water. The label indicates a pound bag has 45 tablespoons, so that's about 6.7 8 ounce cups, or about 1.7 quarts.<br /><br />That's $15.29 cents per quart of juice equivalent.  Using the lesser 250ml/1 pint quantity, that's almost $4/day for juice.<br /><br />I've been incorporating beets in my diet for awhile, but man, are they a pain to prepare!  And the red finds itself all over the kitchen.  A little over half pound of beets has that same 100 calorie comparison.  Since beets here in the USA cost a little under a dollar a pound to maybe a buck and a half, all depending, you can get your quart of beet juice with all the solids for $3-4.  If you get beets with the tops, yummy cooked greens or chop and put in a salad.<br /><br />Maybe Sprouts or Hole Paycheck has juice at a more reasonable price that what I can find here.
