You probably didn't know that you can actually also feed silkworms beetroot leaves.
I've had silkworms before, and I've never fed it to them, but my friend did, and apparently they went a very pleasing shade of pink!
As to their mulberry habits, I have no idea, but does it really matter?

Silkworms only eat fresh mulberry leaves (or artificial food)
Silkworms only thrive on the leaves of the mullberry tree.
Silkworms are the larvae of any number of species of moths, collectively called Silk Moths. The species used for nearly all commercial silk is Bombyx mori. and they are highly "host specific" meaning the organism (the symbiont) depends upon one particular species of plants, animal, or insect for its host, and they will only eat Mullberry leaves.

Apparently yes, silkworms can/will eat beetroot leaves but not if they have already been eating mulberry leaves. But this is hearsay for me. I have raised them on lettuce leaves from start to finish, however.
