Beet Root Powder - 1 oz.

SCIENTIFIC NAME:   Beta vulgaris

DESCRIPTION / PART USED:   The swollen root of cultivated Beta vulgaris is technically made up from both the root and the hypocotyl, which is an enlarged region at the base of the stem. The hypocotyl is an intermediate region between stem and root and accounts for the top or crown part of the root.

In sugar beet, the hypocotyl typically accounts for 10% of the storage organ, while 90% is root derived. However, this proportion varies and the amount derived from hypocotyl can be higher in fodder beet and beetroot particularly in varieties that have crowns that extend above the soil surface.

PRECAUTIONS:

There are no known human health risks associated with typical consumption or topical uses of beet root or beet root powder.
