beetroots
Purple garden vegetables
Beetroots is the plural of beetroot, a root vegetable with deep red-purple flesh.
The term is standard in British English; Americans typically say beets.
Beetroots are eaten roasted, pickled, or raw in salads, and their juice stains notoriously: She got beetroot juice all over her white shirt.
