Epitome of redness

Ross

I believe the answer is:

beet

'epitome of redness' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for beet that I've seen before include "E.g. chard, mangelwurzel" , "Sugar-yielding plant" , "Genus of plant with succulent root" , "Sugar-yielding root" , "Root, maybe source of sugar" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
