Best Beetroot Powder Australia: How to Choose
The best beetroot powder in Australia is the one that gives you the most beetroot for your money with nothing else in the jar, and these seven checks will tell you which one that is.
This guide is written by Propel Health Australia, the maker of the beetroot powder sold on this site. We show how ours measures up on every point, including where it does not.
The best beetroot powder in Australia: 7 checks
1. One ingredient
Turn the pack over. The best beetroot powders list beetroot and nothing else. A second ingredient is often a carrier from spray-drying.
2. Whole root or juice
Whole beetroot powder keeps the fibre; juice powder does not. Read beetroot juice powder vs whole powder.
3. Drying method
Air-dried, spray-dried and freeze-dried powders differ in process and price. A good brand tells you which. See air-dried beetroot powder.
4. Country of origin
Australian food labels must show where a product was grown, made or packed. Look for it, and be wary of a pack that makes it hard to find.
5. Testing
Ask whether the brand tests its beetroot, and for what. A specific result, such as a limit of reporting, is more useful than a vague promise.
6. Organic certification, if it matters to you
Certified organic packs carry a certifier's logo and number. See organic beetroot powder.
7. Price per serve
Divide the price by the number of serves. A cheap jar with a small serve count, or capsules with little beetroot in each, can cost more per serve than it looks.
