Root Vegetables:
Are super nutrient-dense vegetables. Each root has it’s own characteristics, but they do share many of the same health properties. They are a great source of fiber and packed with antioxidants, iron, vitamin C, A and B vitamins.

As they absorb a great amount of nutrients from the soil I recommend you choose organic produce only
