Root vegetables are plant roots used as vegetables. While botany distinguishes true roots such as tuberous roots and taproots from non-roots such as tubers, rhizomes, corms, and bulbs (though some contain both taproot and hypocotyl tissue, making it difficult to tell some types apart), in ordinary, agricultural, and culinary use, "root vegetable" can apply to all these types.〔 Potatoes are technically tubers, not roots, and sweet potatoes are tuberous roots.〕 Root vegetables are generally storage organs, enlarged to store energy in the form of carbohydrates. They differ in the concentration and the balance between sugars, starches, and other types of carbohydrate. Of particular economic importance are those with a high carbohydrate concentration in the form of starch. Starchy root vegetables are important staple foods, particularly in tropical regions, overshadowing cereals throughout much of West Africa, Central Africa, and Oceania, where they are used directly or mashed to make fufu or poi. The following list classifies root vegetables according to anatomy. ==True root== Storage roots are very common all over the world. There are more than 50 types of storage roots (categorised in bulb, rhizome, tubers) * Taproot (some types may incorporate substantial hypocotyl tissue) * * ''Arracacia xanthorrhiza'' (arracacha) * * ''Abelmoschus moschatus'' (bush carrot) * * ''Beta vulgaris'' (beet and mangelwurzel) * * ''Brassica'' spp. (rutabaga and turnip) * * ''Bunium persicum'' (black cumin) * * Burdock (''Arctium, family Asteraceae'') * * Carrot (''Daucus carota subsp. sativus'') * * Celeriac - (''Apium graveolens rapaceum'') * * Daikon - the large East Asian white radish (''Raphanus sativus var. longipinnatus'') * * Dandelion - (''Taraxacum'') spp. * * ''Lepidium meyenii'' (maca) * * ''Microseris scapigera'' (yam daisy) * * ''Pachyrhizus'' spp. (jicama and ahipa) * * Parsnip (''Pastinaca sativa'') * * ''Petroselinum'' spp. (parsley root) * * Radish - (''Raphanus sativus'') * * ''Scorzonera hispanica'' (black salsify) * * ''Sium sisarum'' (skirret) * * ''Tragopogon'' spp. (salsify) * * ''Vigna lanceolata'' (bush potato) * Tuberous root * * ''Amorphophallus galbra'' (Yellow lily yam) * * ''Conopodium majus'' (pignut or earthnut) * * ''Dioscorea opposita'' (nagaimo, Chinese yam, Korean yam) * * ''Hornstedtia scottiana'' (Native ginger) * * ''Ipomoea batatas'' (sweet potato) * * ''Ipomoea costata'' (desert yam) * * ''Manihot esculenta'' (cassava or yuca or manioc) * * ''Mirabilis extensa'' (mauka or chago) * * ''Psoralea esculenta'' (breadroot, tipsin, or prairie turnip) * * ''Smallanthus sonchifolius'' (yacón) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of root vegetables」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
