Get Rooted

root vegetables = exciting flavors + nutrients + convenience

So, what’s a root vegetable? When the underground part of the plant is eaten as a vegetable, it is called a “root vegetable” (even though sometimes it’s really what botanists would call a tuber, bulb or other plant organ). They aren’t always pretty (some are even downright ugly: jicama, anyone?) but they taste mmmm good! Common root veggies include:

• Sweet Potatoes
• Beets
• Parsnips
• Carrots
• Jicama
• Onions
• Radishes
• Rutabagas
• Turnips
