Watch out, a little garden artist is on the loose! With her rosy cheeks, tiny open arms and cheerful expression, this beet seems to have one big idea: spreading color everywhere she goes. And for once, it is not just about coloring! When a red beet is cut, its juice can easily stain your fingers, the cutting board and even other foods nearby.

This intense color comes mainly from natural pigments called betalains. They give red beets their beautiful shades ranging from deep red to purple. But not all beets look the same: some are yellow or orange, others are almost white, and the Italian Chioggia variety even hides surprising pink-and-white rings inside. Plenty of inspiration for our little star!

In the example for this beet coloring page, the root wears a lovely purplish-pink coat, with light pink cheeks and three large leaves in different shades of green. You can follow this palette or invent a much more unusual variety. And if her shape reminds you of someone, go meet the little radish practicing his moves on the dance floor: beneath his leafy top, he also hides a root full of personality.

Beets, radishes and many more garden treats are waiting for you among our Printable Fruits And Vegetables Coloring Pages. This time, there is no risk of staining your fingers: you decide exactly where this little beet will spread her colors!
