Native of Natural offers Premium Dried Beetroot Slices (Beta vulgaris), a versatile and nutrient-dense ingredient for the food, nutraceutical, and culinary industries. Beetroot is renowned for its vibrant color, natural sweetness, and powerful health benefits, attributed mainly to its high content of Dietary Nitrates, Betalains (Betanin), Fiber, and Antioxidants.
The drying process removes moisture, concentrating the natural flavor, color, and nutrients while significantly extending the shelf life. Our dried slices are available in various forms (air-dried, freeze-dried) and cuts, tailored to your specific application requirements.
