Plant details & Benefits:
Beta vulgaris
For this dye I have used the taproot of this delicious vegetable. It is native to the Azores, Western Europe and India and can be eaten raw, cooked or pickled in a multitude of ways. They are rich in nutrients, vitamins and minerals, anti-oxidants for immune and energy support.
In more traditional uses they are believed to enhance beauty, have aphrodisiac properties with connections to love symbolism and the goddess Aphrodite as well as connection with the earth, healing, the root chakra for stability, grounding and emotional balance.
