MANHATTAN, N.Y. — Spring always makes super foods author Stephanie Pedersen dig her fingers into dark, rich earth and plant anew. That’s why she launches her week-long blog party, “Spring Back to Roots,” on the first day of Spring, March 20, 2017. The event celebrates the publication of her latest book, “Roots: The Complete Guide to the Underground Superfood” (ISBN: 978-1454921424).
“Roots are very grounding,” Pedersen says. “In these chaotic times, it’s more important than ever to ground ourselves in our lives so that we can do the work that we’re meant to do. Food can help us with that process.”
“Spring Back to Roots” features fresh, previously unpublished original content and insights about the benefits of incorporating nutritive, nurturing root vegetables into our everyday lives, she says.
Readers will join Pedersen at www.StephaniePedersen.com as she digs deep into the world of root vegetables as “nutritional powerhouses,” fueling personal and professional growth.

* Why root vegetables deserve super food status.
* How roots compare with grains nutritionally and energetically.

“Spring Back to Roots” will also be open to comments and questions from the community, both on the blog, on Pedersen’s Good Reads author page, and on social media, she says.
The super foods community will be able to converse with Pedersen directly to have their questions answered or to share their own experiences.

“Getting back to our roots reminds us of what’s important: our family, our community, and our traditions,” says Pedersen. “Our roots are an important part of who we are. Root vegetables are an important part of what we eat, because they give us a deep sense of connection.”
