Beetroot
Harvested in late winter, early spring, the beetroot has always appealed to me. The Italian: “a beet with whiskers” is pretty fabulous.

La barbabietola
Raccolta alla fine dell’inverno, inizio primavera, la barbabietola mi ha sempre affascinato: “una barbabietola con i baffi” è decisamente favoloso.
