Description
Versatile
100% Beetroot powder /flour is a great alternative to high carb, heavily processed white flours. Naturally rich in calcium, iron, potassium and magnesium, beet powder also contains nitrates. Dietary nitrate helps improve healthy blood flow.
Beetroot powder also enhances endurance and athletic performance; nitrates can increase the amount of oxygen a person uses while engaged in heavy exercise. As beetroot takes longer to digest because of its content of dietary fiber , it even curbs hunger pangs effectively.
Heirloom Beetroot flour is made by cutting the whole beetroot and drying it. The dry beetroot is then milled into this fine flour/powder that has excellent cooking and baking applications. No sweeteners, No preservatives, No added sugar.
Uses
Versatile in both savory and sweet applications, beetroot flour opens up a world of culinary possibilities. This adaptable ingredient can elevate a wide range of baked goods from bread and pasta to cakes, waffles, and pies. Think dessert crusts, crumbles, smoothies, protein bars, and energy balls too.
In most cases, a complete substitution of 1 cup of flour with beetroot flour is possible, but remember, outcomes may vary based on the recipe and desired end product. Alternatively, for grain-free baking, replace 1 cup of white flour with 1/4 cup of beetroot flour, along with a compatible grain-free flour of your choice

100+ years of expertise
Through our beetroot flour sales, we actively bolster the traditional livelihoods of rural Sri Lankan villagers. In these regions, farmers cultivate beetroots abundantly using time-honored regenerative techniques. This approach not only preserves invaluable ancestral knowledge but also equips village communities to navigate the modernized, mechanized manufacturing landscape. The result? A 100% natural, unrefined product born from this harmonious blend of tradition and innovation
Backed by generations of expertise of the harvesters, and packed in a certified ISO processing mill, this product plays a vital role in the rural village community’s employment, welfare, and wellbeing.
The children of our workforce are provided with school books and stationery for the entire school year. The mill also organizes religious and cultural events to inculcate a sense of belonging to a bigger cause, bringing a sense of pride and community to the villagers who are using age-old knowledge, treading lightly, and making a living for their families, sustainably.
Price for quality
While our products may not be churned out in large, industrialized factories, this deliberate choice means we don’t benefit from the economies of scale that supermarket brands do. Instead, we prioritize fairness, ensuring our millers and farmers receive a just compensation.
Every batch is crafted with special care for New Zealand, drawing upon generations of expertise and wisdom. This commitment to excellence easily validates the premium price tag, guaranteeing you the highest quality
