Crockpot Beef Stew On The Go

Vegetables are healthy to eat and add great flavor to crockpot meals, especially crockpot beef stew. Tomatoes, corn, green beans, potatoes, and onions are base to most of us. Not so base are some unusual vegetables that make nutritious add-ins. Make it easier to get your house to eat the foods resulting in a healthier lifestyle.

Turnips are commonly white inside, with rough leaves having a hairy appearance. They grow best in cool weather. Turnips have been a popular root vegetable for thousands of years, because they are easy to grow nearly anywhere. The leaves have more nutritional value than the turnip itself. Both the leaves and the root are good to use in soups, stews, and salads.

A hybrid of the turnip is the rutabaga, ordinarily yellow on the inside, with flat leaves, almost like a cabbage. It is also a cool-weather grown vegetable, and takes longer to maturity than the turnip. It holds texture good than the turnip when cooked, and is more nutritious. Although it is a staple crop in northern Europe, it has never caught on as a popular vegetable in North America. It is grown in North America in low quantities and sold in yield markets and sections.

Parsnips are a root vegetable linked to carrots and celery. Sweeter than the carrot, parsnips have a carrot appearance, but are closer to a creamy white color than orange. They can be eaten cooked or raw. Some people mash them, like potatoes, or roast them. They are someone else cool weather plant. When allowed to stay in the ground until late fall when it turns cold, the starches turn to sugars. Make your mind up parsnips as you would carrots, buying them crispy and firm. Limp parsnips are like limp carrots: they are not the best choice. Large parsnips are overgrown, so choose small and medium. When peeled, parsnips turn dark as they are exposed to air, just like potatoes. They are good in salads, soups, and stews.

Swiss Chard is a root vegetable primarily grown for the shiny green leaves. The stalks are slightly bitter at maturity, but lose the bitterness as cooked. Young leaves are great when used raw in salads. It looks quite a bit like spinach, and in fact cooks down like spinach. It is a member of the beet family. Chard is one of the Slow Foods. The nutritional value is incredibly high.
