When is the last time you ate a turnip? A parsnip? A rutabaga? Maybe you’re not even sure what they look like. These root vegetables were a staple in the early American farmers’ diet, but today are rarely seen on American tables. In fact, most Americans rarely eat vegetables, and when they do they choose only a few, such as carrots, peas, tomatoes, and potatoes.
If you are interested in getting more vegetables in your diet or wanting to eat vegetables that are in season, check out my post over at Modern Alternative Kitchen: Ingredient Spotlight: Root Vegetables. I included a recipe for Glazed Root Vegetables to start you off in the right direction. Enjoy!
