A beetroot^[a] is a food and dye ingredient.

Obtaining

[edit | edit source]

Farming

[edit | edit source]

Beetroots are obtained from harvesting a fully grown crop block, which drops 1–2^[verify] beetroots and 1-4 seeds (2 ⁵⁄₇ seeds per plant harvested on average). Seed yield can be increased using a tool enchanted with Fortune, with Fortune III harvesting an average of 5 ³⁄₇ seeds per plant.

These crops can be found growing in villages or can be grown from planted beetroot seeds.

Usage

[edit | edit source]

Food

[edit | edit source]

A beetroot can be eaten to restore 1 (👁 🍖
) hunger and 1.2 hunger saturation. Six beetroots can be crafted into beetroot soup, which restores six times the hunger and saturation of a single beetroot.
