betacyanin in beetroot may cause red urine in people who are unable to break it down. this is called beeturia.





















































the pigments are contained in cell vacuoles. beetroot cells are quite unstable and will 'leak' when cut, heated, or when in contact with air or sunlight. this is why red beetroots leave a purple stain. leaving the skin on when cooking, however, will maintain the integrity of the cells and therefore minimize leakage.
