Dehydrated Beetroot from India — sourced, graded and export-ready.
Indian beetroots possess exceptionally high betalain (pigment) content. By
dehydrating them using low-heat techniques, we perfectly preserve their intense,
deep purple-red hue and earthy sweetness. Our beetroot powder is in massive
demand globally as 100% natural, label-friendly food coloring for bakery and
pasta products, while slices and granules are utilized in health/smoothie mixes.
Aethon Overseas supplies dehydrated beetroot available as beetroot powder, beetroot slices / chips, beetroot granules. From trial samples to multi-container annual contracts, every lot is cleaned, graded and quality-checked before shipment — with a Certificate of Analysis, phytosanitary certificate and full export documentation included.
