Us Southern folk never heard of a root cellar. But our Northern Great Grand Folk sure knew. That was the small room under the floor hidden by a trap door.

A lot of people living in cold climates all over the world got by all winter on root vegetables.

The nutrition in those vegetables had to count. And the best way to squeeze every bit of nutrition from raw root vegetables is to combine them with eggs.

Vegetables eaten with eggs are up to 9 times more nutritious than with just oil.

Think about it. Mayonnaise is mostly eggs and oil. Just add the eggs and save on the portion size. That is for raw vegetables.  But I'm sure cooked benefits also.
