Raw food groups

[Guest guest]

Good afternoon (EST),

Are there food groups for raw food - I was thinking that they might fall

into....

Fruits, vegetables, greens, nuts, seeds, roots

 

And I've been thinking roots aren't getting the attention they deserve. They

taste really good this time of year, and they are available fresh/local.

Botanically I know that they are the plant's storage chamber for the coming

year. I also read a research article saying that root vegetables have been

found to be more common in early native diets than was previously known - as if

they liked them.

 

We have a local root plant called ramps (a local variety of wild leek that can't

be cultivated) that taste/feel great and have been a local tradition for Spring

cleansing - among the long-time local residents colloquially known as

hillbillies.
