Beetroot

Beetroots are a food and dye ingredient.

Obtaining
Beetroots are obtained from harvesting a fully grown crop block, which drops the crop and seeds (not every harvest yields seeds). These crops can be found growing in villages or can be grown from planted beetroot seeds.

Food
Beetroots can be eaten to restore hunger and 1.2 hunger saturation.

Breeding
Beetroots can be used to breed pigs. Pigs also follow a player who is holding beetroot.

Villagers can pick up beetroot items to become willing, allowing them to breed. Villagers need 12 beetroots before they can breed.

Composting
Placing beetroot into a composter has a 65% chance of raising the compost level by 1.

Trading
Novice-level Farmer villagers have a 25% or 40% chance to buy 15 beetroot for an emerald.
