Is it normal to pee red after eating beets?

Yep.Totally normal

Yes—beets can turn your pee pink or red, and it’s usually harmless. The color should fade after the beets have passed through your system.

Beets contain a strong red pigment that can pass into your urine without being fully broken down. Not everyone gets this effect, but it’s a familiar and harmless beet side effect for plenty of people.

If the color doesn’t clear after a day or two, you haven’t eaten beets, or you notice pain or other symptoms, get it checked—red urine can sometimes be blood.
