Mom--I have heard much about the use of beet, and I, too, would like to know its benefits and how to use!

If it's the brand I'm thinking of, you should take only a small amount and mix in water. It's supposed to help circulation. Beware though because 1 tsp is equivalent to 3 large beets. The brand I'm thinking of is called Super Beets and it's concentrated beet crystals.

Beware of 3 large beets?
I'm eating some beets as I type. They're great in salads.
Not a fan of the powder, but I used to put it in smoothies.

Here's a description of the beet root powder I buy:
"Organic beet root powder is made from the familiar red, fleshy Beta vulgaris root, which is known for its impressive rich nutritional profile. We’ve specially prepared this superfood powder to maintain its nutritional integrity by slowly dehydrating the roots at low temperatures, gently removing any water while maintaining its natural supply of healthful compounds. Use this versatile powder to add a nutritional boost to smoothies, yogurt, cereal, or your next recipe!
For adults, mix one (1) teaspoon of powder with 6 ounces of water, juice, or your favorite beverage. Taste and adjust liquid to your preference. Drink once daily to support well-balanced nutrition and a healthy lifestyle."

I used a brand that sounded similar to this. Since I didn't see much of an energy boost or anything else from it I stopped using it as it was pricey and I eat a lot of beets now anyway. I bake a bunch of them at a time and then they're ready for salads and I usually eat a large salad every day for lunch.

Not to be gross, but if one eats too many beets, it can turn your poo red.

I'm eating a red beet hummus sandwich right now! Love beets!

We grow and can our own beet, and I can't get enough of them. They are like candy for me. I have to control myself because I could eat them until I was sick.
