Root Vegetables

Root vegetables are the group grown for the parts that develop underground. They include taproot crops that thicken downward, like radish and carrot; tuber crops that swell out, like potato and sweet potato; and bulb crops that fill out, like garlic and onion. Because they grow below the surface, deep, loose soil and proper thinning matter, and while they take longer to mature, they store well and keep for a long time. High in carbohydrates and fiber, they make a hearty foundation for a meal.
