Beet juice

Beet juice is a liquid extracted from beets, a deep red root known for its sweet and earthy flavor. This juice is obtained by processing raw beets, either by grating or blending them, and then straining to separate the liquid from the pulp.

Origin: The beet is native to the Mediterranean region and has been cultivated since ancient times in both Europe and Asia. Currently, its cultivation is common in many parts of the world, especially in countries with temperate climates.

Properties: Beet juice is rich in antioxidants, vitamins (especially vitamin C and B-complex vitamins), minerals such as iron, calcium, and potassium, and natural nitrates that may help improve blood circulation and physical performance. Additionally, its consumption can provide digestive and detoxifying benefits.

Synonyms in Spanish from Latin America: beet juice (general), jugo de betabel (Mexico), jugo de betarraga (Chile, Argentina, Uruguay).

In cooking recipes, beet juice is used to provide natural color, sweet flavor, and an earthy touch in dishes such as soups, detox juices, dressings, desserts, and even in mixology.
