Homemade Beet Powder has so many health benefits for the human body, and scientists tell us it’s particularly helpful in detoxifying the liver.

How to Make Beet Powder
Ingredients
- 9 Beets, raw, peeled and sliced 1/8-1/4 inch
Instructions
- Place sliced beets on parchment-lined baking sheets. Or place beets on a cooling rack placed inside of a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Place baking sheets into a preheated 200°F oven for 4 hours or until beet slices are completely dried and are crisp when broken in half. Take care to make sure that the beets DO NOT BROWN.
- Working in batches, pulverize dried beets in a spice grinder until they turn into a fine powder.
- Store powder in an airtight jar in the refrigerator. Adding an oxygen absorber to the jar can be very helpful. The Beet Powder should stay fresh for about 6 months. To use Beet Powder, add 1 teaspoon to eight ounces of water and blend well. Add ice, if you wish, and enjoy.
