Mixed
Root Vegetables
Root
vegetables are underground plant parts that comprise a substantial
part of year round vegetable crops. They are called root
vegetables for lack of a better generic term. Consider the
list of vegetables pulled from below ground; potatoes, onions,
carrots, beets, sweet potatoes and yams, turnips, garlic
and many more. Root vegetables traditionally form the staple
of our winter crops and are used throughout all aspects
of restaurant menus-salads, soups, entrees, stews and as
substantial side dishes. Most people are familiar with the
more common root vegetables like potatoes, carrots, onions
and aren't as knowledgeable about the not so glamorous ones,
namely turnips, rutabagas and parsnips. These root vegetables
are often referred to as lowly vegetables, not so much because
of there location in the ground, but rather of their overall
status in the vegetable kingdom. Root vegetables have recently
enjoyed a renaissance of sorts and their extensive use in
restaurants has resulted in a demand for these vegetables
at various stages in their growth as well as additional
varietal types. As such, ‘teenage', ‘baby' and mixed roots
are available throughout the year. High in essential vitamins
and dietary fiber and rich in flavor, we offer the following
