So, I read a review on here that said it tasted (I can't recall the reviewer's exact words) I think the reviewer said it tasted earthy, or like dirt... I don't know, it was something like that. Anyway, to me it tastes like beets, which I have always thought tasted like dirt. I never liked the taste of beets, never have. However, I had read that taking beet root extract will increase nitrates in the body and, as the theory goes, will then, possibly, reduce blood pressure. So, I figured what do I have to lose. So I began taking this once a day and after about a week my blood pressure did actually drop. Now whether that was from the beet root extract, or some other factor, I don't know, I'm not a doctor, and I never played one on television either. So, my experience is nothing more than anecdotal evidence, and everybody is different. I know that I am now off of all blood pressure medication and I will continue to take beet root extract once per day, even though I don't like the taste of beets. You can try mixing this stuff with something to try to improve the taste, but it will still taste like beets.

I have rheumatoid arthritis I use this in my smoothie doesn't really change the taste the price is reasonable

Purity: This product is not made from beet root juice. It is made from actually beet roots that have been dehydrated. In those terms, it is 100% pure. In terms of pure "powder" it is not. You will occasionally encounter very small chunks of beet root that you can taste that is noticeable only because everything else is a fine powder. Some of it is powder sticking together but I have tasted a chunk once or twice. Packaging: Very simple packaging, easy to open, no scoop provided. That would have been nice but I suppose it is a cost-savings measure. Taste: This is 100% beet root powder. Not beet root juice powder. Beet root powder. It tastes like dehydrated powdered beet roots. If you were looking for beet juice powder with less of the taste then this is not for you. Results: It has been three days since taking this product. I am unable to attest to the efficacy of the product. I will update the review after a week or two. Value: Great value for the price considering a small bottle (32 oz) of beet root juice from an organic store will set you back almost $10. ***9/8/16 Update*** The taste and flavor are still intense. This powder is not for the faint of heart. I am unsure of the performance gains. I have not done any scientific studies but it "seems" like my workouts are a fraction easier. I feel slightly more energized and my workouts seem easier. I mix it with my creatine so it is hard to isolate the gains.

We like this organic beetroot powder! We add it to drinks and smoothies, and it also works great as a natural coloring for homemade red velvet cakes. It’s a convenient way to add beetroot to our recipes, and we love having different ways to use it.

I love Beet Root, and is an important part of my diet during training. You are probably wondering what the difference is between this beet root powder and other more expensive beet root juice powders. I don't have any analytical data to show differences in nitrate composition, for example. However I can tell you qualitatively they are quite different in terms of how you can use/prepare them. Beet root JUICE powder is often spray dried from extracted juice, and it's possible it was heat treated during the extraction. However. the JUICE powder dissolves very nicely in water, and is fairly pleasant to drink by itself. The powder (from products I've used) is often very dark violet. Beet root powder (here) looks to be ground up dehydrated beets, so all the other fibrous material is included. The powder does not dissolve as nicely as the juice-based powder, and has a somewhat chalky grittiness to it and not the clean taste you get from just beet root juice. The powder is a lighter violet than juice-based powders. On the basis of cost, the Beet root powder (here) is a much better bang for the buck. If you need to get one cup of beet root juice equivalent per day, you will burn through the expensive juice-based powders (over $30/pound) whereas you can stock up with a 5kg supply of powder, deal with the slight chalky grittiness by just diluting with more water, and not worry about the taste. After all, you're probably stacking beet root with beta alanine or HMB or other supplements so who cares about taste at that point. Edit: Just measuring out and shaking/blending the powder, while most convenient, doesn't give the best results. There are some hard powder clumps that just take a long time to dissolve. What I've found that helps with the taste and preparation problems is to put the powder in a large 2L nalgene bottle, fill it with water, shake, and leave it in the fridge. The particles eventually dissolve, and the gritty part seems to segregate and settle, I think you can decant the good part which I've tasted and is quite tolerable. Edit 2: You might not want to have too large a supply of dissolved powder in the fridge. There are no preservatives in the raw powder, so there is nothing to keep it from spoiling. I've learned this the hard way. A 5 day supply that I let stretch out to 10 days didn't have any noticeable funk, but it did have an impact on my digestive system, and perhaps also on my muscles. I would say, drink your dissolved powder within a day or two, and wash the container thoroughly each time. Edit 3: A friend suggested that I could use coffee filters and a french press to separate the sludge from the juice after dissolving. I've tried just coffee filters and gravity (takes forever, more trouble than it's worth, I think) but have not tried the french press method (I don't drink coffee, and don't have a french press) but it might be worth it for some of you who can't tolerate the sludge part.

Price cannot be beet :-) I just got into the beet thing Jan 2019 with a CVS product @ $23 for what I think was about 8 ounces. This is 4 times as much beet for less money. That was sweetened for appeal. Bought a Walmart brand that was about 6 oz for $16 or so. Had other stuff in it including sweetener. Bought another brand of beet only powder. For raw beet it was a good price at $16/lb, but again you get almost twice as much with Bulk Supplements. The other brand had a lot of hard clumps oddly gave me heartburn almost immediately. Nothing terrible, but was not pleasant. I like the taste of beets, so have no problem with the beet only powder. Usually I add to "health drink" that has spinach or other green powder that I drink before my morning swim and while I walk in the evenings. I just use a water bottle. Put a little water in the bottom, add powders, fill up and shake. This brand dissolves very well. A little tip... you can add some of these flavored water squirts to sweeten a bit and mask the beet taste if it bothers you, but again, personally spinach, wheatgrass, beet, etc taste does not bother me. Maybe it's just enjoying a taste you know is providing ones body with the nutrients it needs. Anyhow, my quick story... My BP has been going up for the last decade. Blew it off to some extent to "white coat" issues of just being anxious at the doctors office. But it is high for a guy that swims daily and generally fit. Think the rise is tied to weekend IPA binge drinking over the same period of time. It's pretty common knowledge that excessive drinking raises blood pressure. Anyhow, I've regularly taken beet powder daily for the most part since late Jan or early Feb. Had a doctors appointment in early Mar... bam 118/78 reading. Looked back over my records via an online portal they have and my top number readings since the records were made electronic and were as high as 140ish and always above 130 or so. Had a dentist appointment with similar readings a month ago. Just today I checked at the gym (3 months using beet root) on a machine that always had me around 135/82 or so. Never lower than 128. BP was 118/75. And I had just walked 5 miles and my heart rate was a great 56 BPM. I will say that I've cut back significantly drinking on the weekend while going on a strict keto diet. Lost 15 lb in two months. Also consuming a variety of greens supplements. With all that said, some of the first measures showing beet powder working for me were before a lot of the weight loss and other supplements. I'm pretty confident that if used daily it can cut ones top BP number by 10 pts.

The beet root powder quality is fine. I found the taste to be tolerable, it mixed in liquids well (not grainy or clumpy), no digestive issues, and was as effective as any other beet powder product I've tried. However, the packaging proved to be problematic. The zipper bag never seemed to seal well, resulting in the powder clumping into hard blocks by the time I reached roughly the bag's midway level (i.e. it allowed moisture to bond the powder). While the powder remained usable, there became a need to thoroughly break up the blocks each time I went to measure out a portion. If you store the bag in a relatively moist area (i.e. kitchen) or live in a an area with any sort of humidity, the packaging is definitely an issue.

Best and freshest quality beetroot powder. So easy. No mess. No stains. Love it.
