My favorite way to eat them is raw — on top of salads, as a main component of a salad or just out of hand.

They are one of few vegetables that contain inulin which is a carbohydrate that has pre- and probiotic qualities. (The Registered Dietitian in me often pops her head out.)

In the US, their prime time is the fall through winter and early spring. This year I bought some red colored roots which were the same color inside but exceptionally sweet.

Thanks for the post.
