My full haul from the market: beets for blood cleansing; parsnips for grounding; ginger for aiding digestion; greens for antioxidants and bone-building elements (building bones is grounding and balances the air element); sweet potatoes for vitamin C, B6, B2, antioxodant, anti-inflammatory action and blood-sugar balancing; turnips for antioxidants and liver support.
