Vegetable in borscht (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

beet

(Other definitions for beet that I've seen before include "Crop plant, sugar source" , "Root used as a source of sugar" , "E.g. chard, mangelwurzel" , "Root vegetable producing sugar" , "Plant grown for sugar" .)

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