Freeze-dried beetroot: intense color and earthy flavor

Freeze-dried beetroot is beetroot from which water has been removed by lyophilization, preserving its vibrant intense color and characteristic earthy and sweet flavor. The process preserves the natural pigment (betanin) and the vegetable’s qualities without preservatives, in a light and stable product. Its great asset is its color: when ground, it is one of the most potent natural colorants for dyeing doughs, creams, and sugars an intense red. It is also used crispy as a topping or rehydrated in preparations with liquid. Being hygroscopic, it should be kept dry to preserve color and texture.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can freeze-dried beetroot be used as a natural colorant?
Yes. Ground into powder, it is one of the most potent natural colorants for achieving red and pink tones in doughs, creams, sugars, and meringues, thanks to its pigment (betanin), without the need for artificial colorants.
What is freeze-drying and why does it better preserve beetroot color?
Freeze-drying removes water by sublimation (from ice directly to vapor, without passing through liquid) at low temperature. It is one of the methods that best preserves the natural red color, earthy flavor, and qualities of the vegetable, without preservatives and with a light, stable product throughout the year.
How should I store it once the package has been opened?
Being a freeze-dried product, it is very hygroscopic: it absorbs moisture quickly. Store freeze-dried beetroot in a dry place at room temperature (15-25 °C), with the container tightly closed and, preferably, with a desiccant bag inside to maintain the crispy texture for as long as possible.
