Is it normal to poop purple after eating beets?

Yep.Totally normal

Yes—beets can turn your poop reddish, pink, or purple. It should go back to its usual color after the beets have passed through your system.

Beets contain strong natural pigments that can color your stool, sometimes surprisingly vividly. It’s a common and usually harmless effect, and the color should fade within a day or two after you stop eating them.

If the unusual color sticks around when you haven’t eaten beets, or you’re not sure it’s food coloring rather than blood, get it checked—especially if you also feel unwell.
