Used as an ingredient
See every product containing beetroot →
Many packaged products list beetroot as an ingredient — some keep it whole, others process it past recognition. We'll show you which.
Eat it raw, eat it whole
Cook lightly
Steam or roast briefly. Heavy processing strips nutrients faster than light cooking.
Pair with a clean dip
Sliced and raw works for most fresh produce — try with a NOVA-3 or better dip from our hummus ranking.
Skip the pre-prep aisle
Pre-cut, pre-washed, pre-flavoured versions usually pick up additives and preservatives. Whole is fastest in the long run.
