Westpoint Organic Red Beet Powder

Description Our Organic Beet Powder is 100% made from Organic and non-GMO beets. We do not have any additives in our Organic Beet Powder, just delicious beets. We are so excited to have an Organic option for our Beet Powder as offering Organic is so important to us here at Westpoint. We value having ingredient transparency that right down to the seed. This is one of the best parts of shopping Organic is getting to know so much about how your food is grown. Healthy soil is the basis for all organic agriculture. Organic farmers use natural organic fertilizers and soil amendments like organic matter (things you can compost), green manures (cover crops grown specifically for soil improvement, e.g. legumes) to build healthy soil. When food is grown in soil that is healthy and is rich in biodiversity, crops are better able to resist disease, survive drought, and tolerate insects. Beets are high in fibre and antioxidants so they help flush toxins from the body as well as keep the digestive system healthy. You can add them to so many different meals to get a healthy digestive boost. If you don’t like the earthy taste of beets, then beet powder might be a great choice for you since it is more concentrated than fresh beets but with a relatively neutral taste. One fresh beet is the equivalent of one teaspoon of beet powder. Directions A pink beet latte is a velvety, and colourful latte made without coffee. A pink beet latte is essentially made of beet powder, frothed plant-based milk, and sweetened with a touch of Coconut Sugar or Monk Fruit. What is needed for your Beet Latte: 2 tablespoons Organic Beet powder 1 tablespoon Warm water 3 teaspoons Organic Coconut Sugar ½ teaspoon Vanilla ½ cup Organic Coconut Milk Powder (curious if we should suggest direction on our website or not on how to make your Coconut Milk) ¾ cup Almond Milk 1. In a small saucepan, add Organic Beet Powder along with warm water, Organic Coconut Sugar, and Vanilla. 2. Whisk to combine and dissolve the beet mixture. 3. Add in Coconut Milk and 1/4 cup of the almond milk in the saucepan. 4. Bring the pan over medium heat, and warm the beet milk, often stirring until hot - it takes about 2-3 minutes. 5. Pour the hot beet milk into a tall coffee mug and set it aside while frothing milk. 6. Now, froth the remaining 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk in a milk frother or a coffee mug, using a hand milk frother. 7. Top the coffee mug with the frothed almond milk and serve. 8. Taste and adjust sweetness to your taste. Uses - Out of all meat substitutes, the traditional Middle Eastern falafel is one of our favourites.
