Is Beet Juice Healthy? Nutrition, Nitrates & Research
Beets are a nutrient-containing vegetable and a source of naturally occurring dietary nitrate and betalain pigments. Whether a particular beet product fits someone's diet depends on the serving size, overall diet and product formulation.
Whole beets and beet juice are also different foods: whole beets provide fiber that clarified juice or concentrate may not provide in the same amount.
The Short Answer
Beet juice can be part of a varied diet, but broad claims such as “detoxes,” “reduces inflammation” or “lowers blood pressure” overstate what a finished food can promise.
What Beets Naturally Contain
Research frequently discusses dietary nitrates, betalain pigments and betaine. Exact amounts vary by beet variety and processing.
Whole Beet vs. Juice Concentrate
Concentrate is useful when you want beet flavor and soluble fruit/vegetable solids in a compact format. It is not nutritionally identical to eating the whole root.
