how to use beet powder
Taste and Uses of Beet Powder. Beet powder has a slightly sweet, earthy taste that can add a boost of nutrients to your recipes. Use a few teaspoons of the powder in sauces and salad dressings - one teaspoon of the powder is equivalent to one beet. Beet powder can also be used as an alternative food coloring in cakes and cupcakes to make them a bright red velvet color. Using cocoa in cake recipes will help subdue the beet's natural earthy flavor.
Beet root powder is used for coloring, from makeup to foods, and is used as a dye for soaps and clothes. Before our modern-day makeup companies, women rubbed beet root powder onto their cheeks for added blush. It is the perfect substitute for artificial red dye, since it does not cause any allergic reaction.
