The carrot is an elongated, orange root vegetable available worldwide. In the early 1970s the International Planned Parenthood Federation made a cartoon to encourage people to produce smaller families, showing that they would be better fed, better educated and have all the other benefits of reduced population growth. The people were blue in colour, so as to offend no-one, and the carrot was the farmed vegetable equated with health, wealth and well-being, because it was universally recognisable. It is a versatile vegetable, used in stocks to sweeten their flavour, raw in salads or cooked on their own or in stews.

A name for Anne Elizabeth, a large, crisp, acid cooking apple with excellent storage qualities raised around 1857 in Leicester by Samuel Greatorex who named it after his daughter who died in 1868. The golden skin is flushed, striped and speckled with pinkish-red and it retains its shape when cooked. It gained the Royal Horticultural Society First Class Certificate in 1868. This apple also produces a pretty blossom. It is a late-season apple harvested from early- to mid-October in South-East England, is stored and is at its best between November and April.

Cassava, also known as manioc or yuca, is a fleshy, starchy tuber with tough brown skin and crisp white flesh, originally from Brazil but now widely cultivated. There are two types, sweet and bitter. Avoid the bitter one. Throughout the Amazon basin there are 26 varieties, each thriving under different conditions. The process of making it into flour or tapioca removes the toxins.
