Carrots –  A perfectly sweet, crunchy, orange variety.  The kind that make you never want to eat any other type of carrot ever again.
Storage: In an airtight (plastic) bag in the refrigerator. Uses: Cooked or Raw. When to use: Within 2 weeks.

Red Beets – I love beets every way – boiled (or roasted) and sliced as a side dish, grated raw in a salad with lemon juice and olive oil, juiced or sliced in salads.
Storage: In an airtight (plastic) bag in the refrigerator. Uses: Raw or Cooked. When to use: Within 3 weeks.

Golden Beets – Lovely beet flavor with a rich, golden color!

Yellow Potatoes – These are a waxy variety – perfect for roasting.  My trick to roasting potatoes is to roast with a top on the baking dish.  Foil works well too.  The point is to steam the potatoes.  Once tender, remove the top and continue roasting for another 10-15 minutes until nicely browned.
Storage: In an cool (not cold) space. Uses: Cooked. When to use: Within 3 weeks.

Rutabaga – Also known as a Swede or a yellow turnip, rutabagas have a sweet, earthy flavor that is excellent roasted.  These roast quickly when cut into slices or fries, tossed in olive oil and salt and roasted on a cookie sheet in a hot oven.
Storage: In an airtight (plastic) bag in the refrigerator. Uses: Raw or Cooked. When to use: Within 3 weeks.

Watermelon Radish – My favorite saying about these radishes….Boring on the outside, party on the inside!  Try roasting them if you haven’t already.  They are excellent!
Storage: In an airtight (plastic) bag in the refrigerator. Uses: Raw or Cooked. When to use: Within 3 weeks.

Sweet Potatoes – A staple in our house.  I bake them whenever my oven is on and then they’re ready to go!
Storage: In a cool, but not cold spot. Uses: Cooked. When to use: Within 2 weeks.

Leeks – A perfect base for soups or let them be the star of the show!
Storage: In an airtight (plastic) bag in the refrigerator. Uses: Cooked. When to use: Within 2 weeks.
