Origin and History
Beetroot (Beta vulgaris) has been cultivated for over 4,000 years, first in the Mediterranean and Middle East for its leaves, then in Europe for its swollen roots. The deep-red varieties we know today became popular in the 19th century. Today it’s recognised worldwide as a functional food thanks to its high nitrate content and powerful betalain pigments.
