Plural of 'beetroot,' the dark red or purple root vegetable of the beet plant, commonly used in cooking and nutrition.
From 'beet' (from Old English 'bēte,' likely from Latin 'beta') plus 'root' (from Old Norse 'rót'), creating a compound that emphasizes the edible underground part of the plant.
Beetroots are packed with natural nitrates that boost athletic performance—ancient Romans ate them for strength, making this humble vegetable one of history's original performance-enhancing foods.
