What the brand says

Beet root, known scientifically as Beta vulgaris, is a root vegetable with a long and diverse history. Originating in the Mediterranean region, it was cultivated as early as 2,000 B.C., primarily for its leaves. The Greeks and Romans valued the plant for its versatility, though they mainly consumed the leafy portions. The red beet root commonly used today did not appear in culinary use until the 17th century in Europe, when it became popular in cooler northern climates. Breeding programs in the 18th and 19th centuries refined their size, shape, and color, creating the familiar variety enjoyed today. Beyond its culinary appeal, beet root has also been used in various industries, particularly for natural coloring and flavoring applications.
