I also want to give everyone the head's up that once you eat this delicious vegetable, it's beautiful red color may play out in your potty. After enjoying beets several nights in a row, I woke up with what I thought was blood in my urine. Gasp!!! The potty was reddish pink! I gave myself 3 days to live while I looked up my doctor's phone number. Then I racked my brain and tried to figure out what I was doing different because I had no symptoms. I know that many vegetables can affect urine (think asparagus!). Sure enough, I searched online and beets were the culprit. So I don't have a kidney tumor after all. Just those silly beets playing a trick on me. Read about it here and save yourself a trip to the doctor!!
