Dehydrated Beetroot Powder is made from fresh beetroot that's washed, sliced, dehydrated, and finely milled to preserve its natural deep red pigment and earthy flavor without synthetic additives. Bengaluru has an established base of food processing units producing dehydrated vegetable powders for both domestic and export markets, drawing on Karnataka's beetroot cultivation and the city's food processing infrastructure. The powder works as a clean-label natural coloring agent across beverages, bakery, confectionery, dairy, sauces, and nutrition mixes, giving formulators the vivid red color consumers associate with beetroot without an artificial dye on the ingredient label. For food manufacturers, beverage companies, and private-label brands, this means a natural colorant with the moisture control, particle consistency, and food safety documentation international buyers need.

Food colour grade beetroot powder is optimized for pigment intensity and consistency batch to batch, which matters most when the powder's job is replacing an artificial red dye in a beverage, bakery product, or confectionery item. Buyers in this category care primarily about color value and how it holds up through processing heat, more than nutrient retention specifics.
Nutraceutical grade prioritizes nitrate, antioxidant, and mineral retention alongside color, since it's typically going into supplements, sports nutrition powders, or functional beverages where the label makes a nutritional claim rather than just a visual one. This grade often specifies gentler drying methods (freeze drying over spray drying) to protect the compounds a supplement label depends on, at a higher processing cost than standard food colour grade.
Bengaluru's food processing sector has grown alongside Karnataka's vegetable cultivation, and the city hosts several established dehydrated vegetable powder manufacturers already supplying both domestic food companies and international buyers. This existing manufacturing base means shorter development time for custom mesh sizes or grade specifications, since the dehydration and milling infrastructure is already built around export-quality output rather than needing to be developed from scratch. Bengaluru's international air cargo terminal also supports faster sample shipment and smaller trial orders for buyers testing the product before committing to bulk volume.
Retail and industrial packaging in 1kg, 5kg, 10kg, 20kg, and 25kg formats. Laminated pouches, food-grade HDPE bags, kraft paper bags, and aluminum foil bags available depending on moisture protection needs. OEM manufacturing and private-label packaging, including multilingual labels and barcode printing, available on request.
FSSAI license, APEDA registration, ISO 22000 and HACCP certified processing, BRCGS certification where applicable, Halal and Kosher certification where applicable, Certificate of Analysis (COA) per batch, Certificate of Origin, third-party inspection reports (SGS or equivalent) available on request.
It's used mainly as a natural food colouring agent in beverages, bakery products, confectionery, dairy items, sauces, and nutrition mixes, replacing synthetic red dyes in clean-label formulations. It also carries natural antioxidants and dietary fiber from the source vegetable.
Food colour grade is optimized for pigment intensity and heat stability during food processing. Nutraceutical grade prioritizes retention of nitrates, antioxidants, and minerals for supplement and functional beverage applications, often using freeze drying to protect these compounds, at a higher cost than standard food colour grade.
Standard mesh sizes are 40, 60, and 80 mesh, with custom sizing available based on the buyer's specific application, finer mesh for beverage dissolution, coarser mesh for dry blend applications like seasoning or bakery mixes.
Yes, OEM manufacturing and private-label packaging are available, including custom retail packaging, multilingual labeling, and barcode printing for food brands, beverage companies, and supplement brands building their own product line.
Standard MOQ is 2-5 metric tons for bulk orders, with lead times typically running 10-20 days depending on grade and packaging specification. Smaller trial quantities may be arranged for first-time buyers evaluating the product.
Dehydrated beetroot powder generally falls under HS code 0712.90, covering dried vegetables in powder form not further prepared. Confirm the exact classification with your customs broker, since destination markets sometimes apply additional documentation requirements for colorant-use vegetable powders.
