Through the expertise of beetroot suppliers, dried beetroot reaches the global food industry in multiple processed forms such as granules and powder. These ingredients are valued for their natural color, flavor, and stability in applications ranging from ready meals to bakery products.
Beetroot (Beta vulgaris) is a root vegetable cultivated worldwide. Once harvested, the roots are washed, sliced, and dehydrated using air-drying, freeze-drying, or vacuum-drying methods. The dried material is then milled into beetroot granules (coarser particles) or beetroot powder (fine mesh). Both forms are widely used in soups, sauces, instant mixes, and as a natural food colorant.
Beetroot is a cool-season crop harvested about 55–70 days after sowing, with peak harvest occurring from June to October in temperate climates . Prompt post-harvest drying ensures that the natural red color and flavor are preserved for industrial use.
According to FAO data, China, India, and the European Union are among the largest producers of beetroot and related crops.
Manufacturers supply bulk beetroot products in 20–25 kg PE-lined bags, fibre drums, or big bags of 500–1000 kg. Shelf life typically ranges between 18 and 24 months under cool, dry storage. Certified suppliers provide HACCP, IFS, BRC, or ISO 22000 documentation as well as detailed specifications (mesh size, moisture content, microbiology).
Suppliers also serve private label projects, offering consumer packaging (100 g to 1 kg) in stand-up pouches, jars, or PET containers. Services include multilingual labeling, regulatory compliance for EU and FDA markets, and customized blends (e.g., beetroot with Carrot Flakes or Spinach Flakes).
Certified organic beetroot powder and granules are sourced mainly from Europe and India. Producers hold EU Organic and USDA Organic certifications, often combined with Kosher and Halal. Traceability systems ensure compliance from farm to finished ingredient, meeting the expectations of premium and clean-label brands.
