People eat a lot of roots. Sally Bendall, from Hollow Trees Farm and Shop in Suffolk introduces us to the root vegetables in her farm shop: lovely purple-red beetroots; knobbly, bobbly celeriac; dense yellow fleshed swedes; bright orange carrots and creamy-yellow, sweet-tasting parsnips. Sally is passionate about the vibrant colours in her vegetables. Have a listen and check out the colour palettes below.
