Better way heard to produce a vegetable
I believe the answer is:
beet root
'a vegetable' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'better way heard' is the wordplay.
'better' becomes 'beet' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'way' becomes 'route' (route is a kind of way).
'heard' shows a homophone (sound like).
'route' is a homophone of 'root'.
'beet'+'root'='BEET ROOT'
'to produce' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for beet root that I've seen before include "Dark red root eaten as a vegetable" , "Dark red bulb used as vegetable" , "Principal ingredient of borscht" , "Salad vegetable" , "Main ingredient of borsch" .)
