Beetroot

A beetroot is a food and dye ingredient.

Natural generation
Village farm plots have a 10% chance of being beetroot.

Farming
Beetroots are obtained from harvesting a fully grown crop block, which drops 1 beetroot and 1-4 seeds (about 2.5 seeds harvested on average). These crops can be found growing in villages or can be grown from planted beetroot seeds.

Food
A beetroot can be eaten to restore 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.

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 beetroots for an emerald.
