Herbal Pantry: Underground Vegetables

Deep roots symbolize durability, resiliency and unfaltering character, they are grounded and strong. For plants, roots are a matter of life or death. Cut off a plant's roots then replant it, the plant won't survive. Autumn is the time for roots in the kitchen and in herbalism.
