Of the starchy vegetables, the arrowroot and the great burdock 
are the highest in starch content, but they are limited in their usage. 
Of those more commonly used, the kudzu and the Chinese taro ap- 
pear to be the most desirable as sources of carbohydrates. While the 
vegetables of this group are not high in mineral constituents, the 
fact that they appear on the table nearly every day in the year 
makes them of importance, particularly with respect to alkalinity 
of ash. The three nonstarchy root vegetables appear to be some- 
what alike in dietary value.
