Why can't you eat white? What does it do to you? I have no problem with
bean spouts. I do love radishes but they give me weird dreams. Cauliflower
is a goitrogen. Would you call potatoes white? I like rutabagas and
turnips. Also jicama. But are those white? Or just white inside? Fennel
is good. I don't care for parsnips. What else is white?
