Beetroots (more commonly known as beets) are not a common food in everyone's diet Deborah Gerszberg but they should be! Beets are a dark red-purple vegetable, but come in other colors too, such as golden yellow. Beets get their deep color from the betanin (a phytonutrient) and betacyanin (antioxidant) found in them.
