We grow beetroot at home but find some are white, pale pink or even red and white striped inside, while others in the same row are deep red. Anyone know why?

that sounds like a mixed heirloom. I have a white/red striped beet and its called (Chioggia)

Different genetics. Chioggia has pin strips pink and white. Where did you get the seeds from. Either it is mixed varieties or cross pollinated, that is more than one variety was flowering at the same time. Either way its genetics.
