Is it normal to pee purple after eating beets?

Mostly.Normal for most people

Beets can turn your urine pink, red, or sometimes purplish, and it’s usually harmless. The color should fade after the beets have passed through your system.

Yep, beets can tint your pee because their pigments don’t get broken down completely by everyone. It’s often pink or reddish, but it can look purple depending on the lighting, toilet water, or your particular shade of beet-pee magic.

It’s harmless if it happens after eating beets and clears up soon. If the color sticks around after a day or two without more beets, shows up when you haven’t eaten them, or comes with pain or other symptoms, get it checked out.
