Beet Juice Concentrate (32 oz)

Beet in your everyday routine

Build a beet routine around a meal

Take one labeled serving after breakfast, lunch, or dinner according to your preference. There is no need to make the drink unusually strong: adding water changes the taste and volume without changing the measured amount of concentrate.

Choose a flavor combination you enjoy

Beet’s earthy character can be the main flavor or one ingredient in a fruit smoothie. Citrus and tart cherry are useful flavor partners. Begin with the recipe quantities and taste before adding more concentrate, particularly when combining several concentrated ingredients.

Understand the research topic

Dietary nitrate is one reason beetroot appears in exercise and cardiovascular research. Our dietary nitrate guide explains that topic. The Research tab also distinguishes nitrate measurements from the 70° Brix concentration specification used on this product.

Ingredients and careful handling

Ingredients: Beet juice concentrate, citric acid.

Citric acid is included in this beet concentrate and is part of the ingredient statement. No sugar or filler juice is added. Naturally occurring sugars remain in the concentrate, so no added sugar does not mean sugar-free. Refer to the current Nutrition Facts for the labeled serving and nutritional amounts.

How FruitFast handles the concentrate

• The concentrate is pasteurized by our supplier before FruitFast bottling.
• FruitFast cold-fills it without reheating.
• Bottles are nitrogen-flushed and kept refrigerated until shipment.
• Refrigerate or freeze after arrival, and keep opened concentrate refrigerated and tightly closed.

The product specification is 70° Brix. Brix describes soluble solids in the concentrate, including naturally occurring sugars and other dissolved components. Learn what Brix measures or read more about FruitFast processing and quality.

Natural settling can occur. Shake before measuring and use a clean utensil for each serving. The packaging guide explains the bottles used for FruitFast juice concentrates.

Beet concentrate questions

Who it's for

• Customers who enjoy earthy beet flavor in a drink or smoothie.
• People looking for a measured beet concentrate routine after a meal.
• Home cooks using beet flavor in dressings and other recipes.
• Shoppers who want the ingredient list and serving quantity stated clearly.

Choose a bottle and format that fit your routine. Follow the serving and dilution instructions when using the concentrate in drinks or food.

Understanding beet research

Beetroot is especially interesting to researchers because of its dietary nitrate. The body can convert some dietary nitrate through nitrite into nitric oxide, a signaling molecule involved in blood-vessel function. That pathway helps explain why beetroot appears in exercise and cardiovascular research.

Human studies examine questions such as oxygen use during exercise, endurance measures, blood pressure, and vascular function. Beets also contain betalains, the pigments associated with their red-violet color, and betaine, a different naturally occurring compound. Each topic has its own place in beetroot research.

• Dietary nitrates and beetroot
• Betalain pigments
• Betaine explained

Our dietary nitrate guide explains the pathway and the research questions in more detail. The betalain and betaine guides help distinguish the compounds that sound similar. FruitFast’s 70° Brix specification describes soluble solids; a standardized nitrate amount is not specified for this concentrate.

Suggested use and mixing

Take one labeled serving daily after a meal: 1 fl oz (2 Tbsp / approximately 30 mL). Choose the time that fits your routine, whether that is after breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

1. Shake the bottle before measuring.
2. Measure 2 Tbsp concentrate with a tablespoon or liquid measure.
3. Add 7 fl oz cold water for a classic 1:7 mix.
4. Stir, taste, and add more water for a lighter drink.
5. Close the bottle and return it to cold storage.

This 32 fl oz bottle provides 32 labeled servings. At one serving daily, that is 32 days of concentrate. At a 1:7 concentrate-to-water ratio, the whole bottle makes approximately 2 US gallons of mixed beverage. A serving count is a measure of concentrate, not a promise of that many 8 fl oz drinks.

For a lighter drink, keep the 1 fl oz concentrate serving and increase the water to 9–11 fl oz. Using the concentrate in food also counts toward the amount measured; a shared recipe divides that amount among its portions. See our mixing guide and storage guide for more detail.

Four ways to use beet concentrate

These are starting recipes, so adjust water and other ingredients to taste. One labeled serving is 2 Tbsp concentrate. When a recipe is shared, its concentrate is divided among the portions. Enjoy your daily serving after a meal.

1. A simple after-meal refresher

Measure 2 Tbsp concentrate into a glass and stir in 7 fl oz cold water. Add ice if desired. Makes approximately 8 fl oz before ice and contains one labeled serving. For a lighter taste, add more water while keeping the same concentrate measure.

2. A sparkling fruit drink

Pour 2 Tbsp concentrate into a glass. Slowly add 7 fl oz plain sparkling water, stir gently, and add ice. This approximately 8 fl oz drink contains one labeled serving of concentrate. A citrus slice or a few mint leaves can change the flavor without requiring another concentrated ingredient.

3. A fruit smoothie

Blend 2 Tbsp concentrate with 1/2 cup frozen strawberries, 1/2 banana, and 3/4 cup cold water. Add a squeeze of fresh lemon if desired, then blend until smooth. Makes one smoothie containing one labeled serving of beet concentrate.

4. Beet vinaigrette

Whisk 2 Tbsp beet concentrate with 2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar, 4 Tbsp olive oil, and 1 tsp Dijon mustard. Season and divide over salads or cooked vegetables. The entire batch contains one labeled serving of concentrate; a portion of the dressing contains only part of that serving. Refrigerate promptly.

Other flavors to explore: Lemon · Tart Cherry · Pomegranate. When combining concentrates, use each product’s own serving instructions.
