Helpful Kitchen Tips
Root vegetables like beets, carrots, and turnips are often sold in garden and grocery stores with their leafy tops still attached. If left on, the tops rob the vegetable roots of nutrients and moisture. So, remove them as soon as you return from the store. And you can use the tops in salads and soups.
