Carrots – A perfectly sweet, crunchy, orange variety. The kind that make you never want to eat any other type of carrot ever again.

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!
