I'm researching the addition of beet extract to my daily supplement
stack. Online offerings aren't that expensive but began considering a
homemade variety.

I went to the store and found beets priced rather inexpensively. So, I
did some cursory searching for homemade techniques. Most articles point
to making the juice. A few pointed to making the powder. What I'd like
is a reduced/sticky solution at the end.

On initial thought, juicing some of the beats and reducing the juice at
low heat to reduce the water content came to mind. But, doing this I
fear will destroy some of the beneficial aspect of the vegetable.

Any experiences out there to share on this, by chance?

Pickled beets are good but Harvard Beets are better. However for the
best benefit healthwise make Borscht. About once a week I'll open a
can of sliced beets, sip out some liquid, add a Tbls of vinegar, a tsp
of sugar, and some sn'p... eat the beets and drink the juice directly
from the can, only need to wash a fork.

What benefits do you seek? What does the juicing or powder creation
provide? I would think juicing can be done raw, but how is the powder
made?

It'd be a tad tricky to take the specifics attributed (some very
interesting, others not always scientifically verified) to beets in
general, then isolate each of them after long, slow heating. This is
especially true as many of these "benefits" are claimed to accrue over
long term use, rather than just being vitamin/mineral content. You can
certainly look up individual vitamins/mineral you feel are in the
beets and check out their extended heat sensitivities.

I happen to like beets - at least in salads, borscht or pickled, but
they are a bother to deal with in prep.

General article here, but stuff is all over the place and even in a
respected publication, some of the claims are not substantiated in a
scientific way. That could just be the write-up, though.

"Eat the Beets". Sounds like a bumper sticker.

With canned beets there's no prep other than using a can opener.
I like beets, I buy them by the case.

yeah, makes no sense to me to go through all that BS to get
beet extract to then ingest.

beets are easily pickled and very tasty, i steam them with
plenty of chopped onions and then use the juice from steaming
with the added vinegar, sugar and water to get the right
flavor.

i used to eat a lot of these and have made hundreds of
quarts.

plain beets are ok too, but they need a pressure canner
to do them safely - at least with pickled beets you can
avoid that.

Sorry, I can't help you. I'm not convinced beets are some sort of
wonderful dietery daily healthful supplement. Sounds like you're buying
into some sort of weird diet fad thing.

I don't think beets are more healthful than many other vegetables
but still I happen to like them, I enjoy their texture and they make a
colorful accompaniment to otherwise drab/blase foods. Beets are also
very easy to obtain, they are sold canned at most any store.
Chard is much easier to grow than spinach... spinach is a magnet for
sand. Chard is also a good landscaping plant, it can grow quite large
like a shrub and in several color combos. But mostly chard is easy to
harvest and is very good in salads.

I bet they're a super food. They were a 100 years ago, they are today
and they will be in 100 years. Not exactly a fad. Not that you have to
eat every single super food.

You nailed it. It seems to be the preferred method to respond with a
prickly attitude than to not reply at all. Also, bad assumptions
abound.

You started off by saying you can't help. You followed with a
declaration about efficacy after stating you don't know anything. Then
you made a false assumption about me. You clearly proved your point on
not being helpful.

Are you this toxic in person too? I bet you'd be fun on a very short
date.

I'll bet you can prolong your life by a few hours simply by eating only superfoods - but you have to start eating them right away. My guess is that in the future, we won't have to be eating all that crappy food - we'll just take anti-aging pills.

Thanks for replying and offering help. I intend to juice the vegetables
raw. From the techniques I've read on powder, it matches the techniques
one would use for powdering many other items. Put the chopped items into
a food dehydrator, then into a coffee grinder or food processor until it's
fine. Some people use it for makeup or dyes. Others use it for making
smoothies and various other food items. I could try the powder variety.

I powder onions and garlic this way when I can get my hands on tons of
excess. I use onion and garlic powders often with cooking of flavorings.

Some research has been conducted on beets helps pointing to reduction of
soreness after exercise (which is one benefit I'm seeking). Now that my
area is open, I'm back at my gym on a pretty aggressive weight lifting
regimen and soreness is something I'd like to reduce. Also, beets contain
chemicals that reduce swelling and cholesterol. Nitric Oxide is also
present, which is helpful with the vessels, reduction of blood pressure,
among other things. All this information comes from webmd.

https://www.webmd.com/vitamins/ai/in...tmono-306/beet

Other nutrition sites suggest two beets per day. I really don't think I
could sustain this in my daily diet. Extraction seems to be a preferred
method. This is something I'm willing to try.

Great idea! I will do this. I understand that it likely requires
consistency to see a benefit, though webmd doesn't point to this
necessity. I'm sure it's due to lack of data. Just now, I realized that
my neighbor is a nutrionist and trainer. He actually owns the gym where
I train. I'll bring it up when I workout later today and get his
opinion. Also, my massage therapist does nutrition. I'll get her opinion
next time I talk with her.

I like beets too. Generally eat them out of the can. When I go to a
salad bar, I load up if they're stocked. But, as we said earlier, I'm
not sure if cooking/steaming the beets destroy some of the benefit. More
research is needed. I don't mind prepping the stuff if I can make it at
home at a portion of the cost.

Yeah, I've only read from webMD and a few other reputable sources
including the consumer reports link you provided. When I read consumer
reviews on iHerb.com, most were positive. Though, I hesitate to rely on
reviews since it's impossible to tell when they're phony.

I reached out to labdoor.com and requested that they look into it.

Looks like you're a fan of the nymshifting name calling trolls. You can
all go "stack" supplements together. Don't forget to drink a bunch of
kombucha while you're at it.
