      Semi-Funny story. I had never eaten beets before, but I started eating those beet and sea salt chips (so good!), and I freaked the fuck out when I peed red that next morning.

      I have hella good healthcare through my job, and so I made an appointment with my primary care doc right away, and he was like “Any changes to your diet?”

      Felt bad about wasting his time, but Jesus, I was not expecting that amount of red in the bowl!

        Ask anyone in primary patient care - people make that exact same appointment because of beets regularly. Beets are absolutely delicious, but boy can they be a little mindfuck for a moment if you aren’t expecting the side effect!

          As someone who temporarily switched from carrots to beets due to an allergy, golden beets are a solution to avoid giving people you cook for a good scare
