PARSLEY ROOT PARSNIPS PEAS POKEWEED POTATOES PUMPKIN

Parsley Root
Also called Hamburg Parsley and Turnip-Rooted Parsley

THE BASICS
This parsley subspecies is grown for its beige, carrotlike root, which tastes like a carrot-celery cross. It's used in parts of Europe in soups, stews and simply as a vegetable.

Parsnips

THE BASICS
Europeans brought the parsnip to the United States in the early 1600s. Fresh parsnips are available year-round with the peak period during fall and winter; the first frost of the year converts the parsnip's starch to sugar and gives it a pleasantly sweet flavor. Look for small to medium, well-shaped roots and refrigerate in a plastic bag for up to 2 weeks.

Should we remove the cores from parnips? Probably

Including Pod Peas such as Snow Peas (also called Chinese Snow Peas) and Sugar Snap Peas (also called Sugar Peas) that are completely edible and eaten whole
See also Chickpeas (Garbanzo Beans)

THE BASICS
Along with beans, lentils, peanut and soybeans, peas are legumes. The common garden pea (often just labeled 'peas') are best purchased frozen, unless they can be picked and consumed within 2 to 3 days. Snow peas are almost translucent with thin, crisp pods with tiny tender seeds. Both tips of a snow pea should be pinched off just before using. Sugar snap peas are a cross between English Peas and Snow Peas.

Keep sugar snap peas on hand for healthful snack attacks

Pokeweed

THE BASICS
The pokeweeds, also known as poke, pokebush, pokeberry, pokeroot, polk salad, polk sallet, inkberry or ombú, comprise the genus Phytolacca, perennial plants native to North America, South America, East Asia and New Zealand. Pokeweed contains phytolaccatoxin and phytolaccigenin, which are poisonous to mammals. However, the berries are eaten by birds, which are not affected by the toxin. [read more] - Source Wikpedia

Potatoes
See also Sweet Potatoes

THE BASICS
The ancient Incas were cultivating this humble tuber thousands of years ago. The potato was not readily accepted in Europe, however, because it was a member of the nightshade family and thought poisonous. In the 16th century, Sir Walter Raleigh was instrumental in debunking the poisonous potato superstition when he planted them on property he owned in Ireland. The Irish knew a good thing when they saw it and a hundred years later were growing and consuming the potato in great quantities. Today, hundreds of varieties of this popular vegetable are grown around the world. In America, the potato can be divided into four basic categories: russet, long white, round white and round red.
