root vegetables
Carrots and beets
Root vegetables are edible plant parts that grow underground—carrots, beets, turnips, potatoes, radishes.
The term is somewhat loose, including true roots, tubers, and bulbs.
They're typically hearty, storable, and associated with cold-weather cooking: a roasted root vegetable medley, root vegetables and braised meat.
