Just noticed chefs using whole veggies from root to stem

I've seen it in a few local spots now. It's cool how creative they get with parts we used to toss.

How many of these spots actually make the roots taste good?

Free flavor for soups and stews sounds nice, but is it really that big a deal? I mean, carrot tops in pesto or broccoli stems in stir fry... sure, it's creative, but does it actually taste better? @brooket43 had a point about roots seeming like trash, and sometimes I wonder if chefs are just doing it for show. Like, saving potato peels for chips is one thing, but making a whole meal out of scraps seems extra. It feels like another food trend that'll pass, you know?

Wait, they're using the roots too? Idk, I always thought those were just trash.

Save those roots, @brooket43, they're free flavor for soups and stews.
