Red Beet
Beet juice is extracted from the root of the vegetable Beta vulgaris. Red beets are grown in the Midwest region of the United States and harvested from August to October.
The colorings responsible for the hue of red beet juice are a group of molecules called betalains. This group of pigments contains red and yellow pigments known as betacyanins and betaxathins, respectively.
