Organic Beetroot Powder
If you are shopping for organic beetroot powder, it pays to know exactly what the word on the pack means, and what ours is and is not.
What makes a beetroot powder organic
In Australia, a product sold as certified organic should carry the logo and licence number of a certifier such as Australian Certified Organic (ACO) or NASAA Certified Organic. Certification covers how the beetroot was grown and how the product was handled through to the pack. If a powder says "organic" with no certifier named, ask the brand what sits behind the word.
Is our beetroot powder organic?
No. Our beetroot powder is not certified organic, and we would rather say so plainly than leave you guessing. Here is what it is:
- A single ingredient: beetroot (Beta vulgaris), with nothing added
- Non GMO
- Independently tested for glyphosate, to a limit of reporting of 0.1 parts per million
- Grown and air-dried in Poland, packed in Brendale, Queensland
Organic beetroot powder or tested beetroot powder?
If certified organic is a must for you, buy a certified product and check the certifier's number on the pack. If what matters most is that the jar holds nothing but beetroot, that it has been tested, and that it costs between $0.51 and $0.56 a serve, ours is a strong choice.
Other things worth checking on any beetroot powder
- The ingredient list: one ingredient, or a carrier as well?
- Whole root or juice: see beetroot juice powder vs whole powder
- The drying method
- Country of origin, which Australian labels must show
- The serve size and price per serve
