Other Roots

  • About
This chapter presents a quick overview of other notable edible roots. In some cases, a root is included here because it is a significant food source for a particular population but is otherwise not broadly distributed. Enset is an example. Others, such as chicory root or ginseng, are interesting but not deserving of a stand-alone chapter because they are primarily used as additives or for their medicinal properties. To leave these roots out altogether would lessen the appreciation of the spectacular underground world of edible foods. Gaining at least a cursory understanding of this select list provides enrichment, just like the roots themselves.
