Red Beet Crystals
Beets…. perhaps the mostly earthy of all root vegetables, are exceedingly wholesome nutritious, yet extremely versatile. You may love them, you may hate them. Regardless of how you feel about beets, no one can deny their amazing qualities that are super beneficial for your health. Of course I believe you can learn to love any ‘unliked food’ with a new approach to cooking, seasoning, or serving it. Whether you could eat beets for every meal, or prefer to stay away from them, there is most certainly a way to maximize the benefits of beets into your diet…
Let me introduce you to Red Beet Crystals…
I recently discovered Salus Organic Red Beet Crystals from Floradix, an European organic wellness company. Based in Bruckmühl, Germany, this wellness company values both herbal health and science. For over 100 years, Salus Haus the manufacturer for Floradix products has been committed ‘to organic cultivation, environmental sustainability, biodiversity, and social responsibility’.
These Red Beet Crystals are nothing short of magical!
I am hooked on them because they can be used in SO many various ways for cooking and baking. First of all, crystallized red beets are a SUPERFOOD, so the nutritional benefits go beyond just regular beets. They can easily be added to both meals and beverages, without leaving a strong taste or smell of beets. My favorite thing about these crystals is that they are the ideal solution to completely replace any processed red dye in food coloring.
