What to know about beet

Beets are the classic earthy root, and their standout trigger is oxalate: they are very high in it, which matters for anyone prone to calcium-oxalate kidney stones or following a low-oxalate diet. They also carry moderate fructans and polyols, so a large serving can be a mild FODMAP load. The famous red or pink urine after eating them, called beeturia, is harmless and not a sign of anything wrong.

Watch for

  • Very high in oxalate, the main reason to moderate beets if you form calcium-oxalate kidney stones or eat low-oxalate
  • Moderate fructans and polyols, so a big portion of beetroot can add up to a mild FODMAP trigger for a sensitive gut
  • Beeturia, the pink or red urine some people get afterward, is a harmless pigment effect and not blood or a symptom to worry about
