Some in my family are allergic to various artificial food colors, but my kids really didn't want a white birthday cake cause it is boring. Beet powder is the perfect coloring for us. I simply mix it with a small amount of hot water, let it sit a minute, then strain through cheesecloth. I then use the liquid in making my frosting and it is a beautiful bright pink color--prettier than standard food coloring IMO, and a perfect color for little girls' birthdays. I have also just added the powder directly to the frosting, which works but it takes a while for the color to appear full strenth and if you look closly you will see tiny dots of beet powder.
I also use beet powder to make colored sugar, pouring a tiny amount of liquid on sugar, mixing well, letting it dry, and breaking up any clumps. I then use that sugar to make homemade peeps that the whole family can eat (recipe at http://www.marthastewart.com/article/homemade-easter-treats). Mine don't look nearly as good as Martha's, but they tase wonderful.
I have even used beet powder to make candy canes (recipe at http://candy.about.com/od/hardcandyrecipes/r/candy_canes.htm). Instead of adding food coloring, just add some beet liquid AFTER taking the candy off the heat and cooling slightly. I have also used it in other hard candies, the only problem is that if the candy hardens before you have shaped it you can't reheat it on the stove or the beet stuff will burn, turn brown, and taste nasty. That only happens at very high temperatures, however. You can add beet powder to baked goods without burning it.
This stuff goes a long way as a food coloring. One small package has lasted us a year and a half, using it a couple of times a month, and I am just now nearly done with it. No one has ever noticed a beet flavor in the finished products because you only need a tiny amount.

I bought a bunch of the powder from the company for soups. I am very happy. It seems high quality.

This is a fairly good product especially if you want a little more 'kick' to your pickled beet eggs making. It adds more flavor and color to the pickled beet eggs. Also, I use them in my smoothie. I am not sure if it help for enzyme therapy or just makes it look red. For natural red food coloring, this product is great.

Nice color
I tried to make a homemade lipstick, but it came sheer. I wanted a bright color, but unfortunately it did not work.

Red Beet Powder, 2 oz
I am very pleased with this product. I purchased the powder because the fresh tends to go bad for me before I can use them up. Therefore the powder is very useful.

Good for maroon frosting, not red.
I bought this for the frosting on my 1 year old's cupcakes. They looked like Elmo and I was hoping to use the beet powder instead of loading the kids up with red food dye. Read more

Disappointing
I purchased this product to make homemade blusher and lip tint.
The color did not get dark enough. It stayed light and it clumped in the finished product.

If you want the vibrant red color for a red velvet cake do not use.
I wanted to avoid using food coloring due to it containing the ingredient red 40. So I used this powder for my red velvet cake. Read more

Natural food coloring
I bought this as an alternative to a natural liquid food coloring that I like, but may have changed recently. I used it today to successfully turn some white chocolate purple. Read more

Terrible taste
Tasted terrible. Had a plastic taste to it. I'm assuming it got that flavor because of the baggie it came in. Bought it to color frosting for my son's cake. Read more
