Beetroot

Beetroots are crops planned to be added to Pocket Edition 0.8 Alpha. They appear similar to carrots and potatoes. They appear to function like wheat, they drop both a food item, and seeds which can be then replanted on farmland.

Appearance
When held in-hand, beetroots look similar to spider eyes, but more round and pink.

Usage
Beetroots themselves are edible, but they can be crafted with a bowl to form beetroot soup and can be crafted into rose red dye. But, you can still smelt red mushrooms into dyes.
