Before using this root in your recipes, remove any dead or yellow leaves and throw them away. Then soak the ingredient in vinegar water to clean all the dirt from the roots and leaves. It is very important that you wash this vegetable multiple times until there is no dirt or small rocks, wash this vegetable 3-4 times very well. Optionally, you can use a knife and scrape any leftover dirt gently from the surface of the roots after cleaning.
