beets
Crimson garden roots
Beets are root vegetables with deep red-purple flesh, eaten cooked or pickled.
The color is so distinctive that beet red describes flushed faces.
Beet greens—the leafy tops—are also edible.
Sugar beets are a major source of commercial sugar.
In British English, the vegetable is called beetroot.
