7 Fruits & Veggie You Should be Spiralizing

1. Broccoli Stems

Many people toss away the broccoli stem after picking at the florets. Next time save them and spiralize them! The stems are less flavorful therefore making them a great blank canvas for any sauce or topping you have in mind. Plus, the broccoli stems contain more calcium, iron and vitamin C. Only the florets contain more vitamin A!

2. Parsnips

Similar in taste and texture to a carrot, parsnips have a hint of sweetness and a lot of crunch like other root veggies celery and turnips. Because parsnips can be cooked a little longer before they soften, they make the perfect addition to soups. Try spiralizing them and using them as the noodles in chicken noodle soup. Parsnip possess many poly-acetylene oxidants giving them anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal, and anti-cancer properties.

3. Kohlrabi

With a texture similar to brocooli stem and cabbage, kohlrabi has a crunchy texture that's bright and fresh. Replace cabbage with kohlrabi in a coleslaw or pickle them in a sweet vinegar mixture for a tasty side dish.

4. Jicama

Jicama is a great alternative to celery sticks. Sweet and crunchy, it’s delicious in salads, soups, or a cold noodle dish. Low in calories but high in fiber, jicama contains 25% of the daily needs of fiber, specially inulin fiber. Inulin fiber contains zero calories and it is not metabolized by the body while providing healthy benefits to your gut!

5. Turnip

There are many types of turnips in an array of colors. Sautéed in a stir-fry or added to a broth-based soup, turnips provide a good source of vitamin C, K, and B-complex. Use Veggie Bullet to make turnip strands for your next veggie dish.

6. Beets

Nothing beats the beautiful color of a red or golden beet. Spiralize it and add it to a good noodle dish, beets provide a good dose of betalains which have been shown to have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and detoxification properties. Add spiralized beets to a cold salad or pair it with a pesto sauce, beet noodles have an earthy flavor that is unlike any other vegetable.

7. Apples

Spiralizing apples can add a new dimension to your salad or pie. Add apple noodles to your chicken salad, or spruce up your classic apple pies, spiralized apples can be a new and fun way to bring this popular fruit to your next dish!
