Beetroot at a glance

Beetroot comes from harvesting beetroot crops and chest loot, and Food is where it sits as a food item. A single slot takes 64 Beetroot, a hotbar row 576, and 3456 fill a double chest. On the hunger bar Beetroot fills 0.5 drumsticks, 1 points, with 1.2 saturation behind it.

Restoring 1 hunger and 1.2 saturation, Beetroot keeps your hunger bar topped up so natural health regeneration can continue, and the 1.2 is the part that decides how long it takes before you reach for Beetroot again. It additionally serves as a crafting ingredient for Beetroot Soup. It sits between Baked Potato and Beetroot Soup in Food, number 3 of 37 there.

Building with it

One hunger per beetroot makes it the weakest food in the game to eat directly, but six of them make beetroot soup, and one alone makes red dye. Beetroot seeds do not come from the crop itself, which is the trap that catches new farmers.
