This article is about the basic food item. For the seeds, see Beetroot Seeds. For the soup, see Beetroot Soup.

Beetroots are a food and dye ingredient.

Obtaining

Beetroots are obtained from harvesting a fully grown crop block, which drops the crop and seeds (not every harvest yields seeds). These crops can be found growing in villages or can be grown from planted beetroot seeds.

In Bedrock Edition, beetroots can be found in 55.1% of village two-room house chests in stacks of 5–8.‌^{[Bedrock Edition only][until BE 1.10.0]}

Usage

Food

Beetroots can be eaten to restore 1 () hunger and 1.2 hunger saturation.

Breeding

Beetroots can be used to breed pigs. Pigs also follow a player who is holding beetroot.

Villagers can pick up beetroot items to become willing, which will allow them to breed. Villagers require 12 beetroots to become willing. This does not work on Java Edition.
