Who says they do? "Best" in what way? What you consider important and what I consider important may be two very different things. The exact color I want may not be available in a vegetable dye, or vegetable dyes may not "take" on the polyester fabric I'm trying to dye. Vegetable dyes may fade too quickly to be of any use. The point is that it's silly to ask which is the "best" dye without also specifying what the criteria are. Cheapest? Most colorfast? Widest color range? Least toxic? There are situations where any of those might trump the others.

Beets are great for making a vibrant red dye, while red cabbage can produce a blue or purple dye depending on the pH level. Turmeric can create a bright yellow dye, and spinach can provide a green hue for dyeing fabrics.
