Vibrant Nutrition: Why Traditional Beetroot Murukku is a Better Way to Snack

The way we snack is changing. More people today are looking for simple, wholesome foods made with recognisable ingredients instead of highly processed alternatives. Traditional snacks are finding their place again, especially when they’re prepared with care and quality ingredients.

Beetroot murukku brings together the familiar crunch of a classic South Indian favourite with the natural goodness of fresh beetroot. It’s colourful, flavourful, and proof that traditional recipes can continue to feel fresh and relevant.

The Goodness of Beetroot

Fresh beetroot (Beta vulgaris) does more than give murukku its beautiful ruby-red colour. It also brings naturally occurring nutrients and a distinctive earthy sweetness that pairs perfectly with traditional spices.

Naturally Rich in Plant Compounds

Beetroot contains naturally occurring pigments called betalains, which give it its vibrant colour. These plant compounds have been widely studied for their antioxidant properties and are one of the reasons beetroot is valued as part of a balanced, varied diet.

Naturally Occurring Nitrates

Beetroot is naturally rich in dietary nitrates. As part of a healthy diet, these compounds have been studied for their role in supporting normal blood circulation and overall cardiovascular health.

A Traditional Unpolished Rice Flour Base

Our beetroot murukku is made using unpolished raw rice flour and roasted gram flour rather than refined flour. Retaining the bran layer preserves more of the grain’s natural fibre and nutrients while creating the light, crisp texture that traditional murukku is known for. Combined with fresh beetroot puree, it makes for a satisfying, flavourful snack rooted in tradition.

Simple, Honest Ingredients

Seasoned with chilli, sea salt and a touch of asafoetida, every ingredient has a purpose. The recipe stays true to traditional South Indian cooking, where flavour comes from carefully chosen ingredients rather than artificial additives.

The Malabar Se Difference

At Malabar Se, we believe great snacks begin with honest ingredients and time-tested recipes. Every batch of our beetroot murukku is prepared with the same care and attention that has shaped Kerala’s snack-making traditions for generations.

Traditional Wood-Fired Cooking

Our beetroot murukku is slowly cooked in small batches over a traditional wood-fired stove. This time-honoured method helps create the signature crisp texture that murukku is loved for while adding a subtle depth of flavour that reflects traditional Kerala cooking.

Made with Pure Coconut Oil

We use pure coconut oil, an ingredient that has been central to Kerala’s culinary tradition for generations. It complements the flavour of the beetroot and spices while staying true to the authentic taste of traditional Kerala snacks.

Real Ingredients

Our beetroot murukku is made with unpolished raw rice flour, roasted gram flour, fresh beetroot puree, pure coconut oil, chilli, sea salt and asafoetida. That’s it—simple ingredients chosen for their quality and flavour.

No Artificial Colours or Preservatives

The vibrant colour comes naturally from real beetroot. We don’t use artificial colours, artificial flavours or preservatives, allowing the ingredients to speak for themselves.
