Does beets cause your urine to be red?

Yes, beets can cause your urine to be red. This is because beets contain a pigment called betalain, which is responsible for the vegetable's deep red color. When betalain is digested, it is broken down into smaller molecules that are then excreted in the urine. These molecules can give urine a red or pink color, which is usually harmless and will go away within a few days.
