Peeling Parsnips & Carrots for Borscht

"I am cleaning the carrots here for our Borscht. You don't actually need to peel carrots believe it or not, as the legend goes that most of the vitamins are right below the skin and since we are cooking everything there will be no dirt or residuals but I am going to peel them anyway and I am just going to cut off the ends, this small end and the big end and I am also peeling the parsnip, we just need one. Parsnip is the root of a parsley plant and imparts a really nice Earthy flavor that gives that traditional soup for the Borscht. I like to put it in chicken soup as well and again we will just cut off the end. These are nice because of the size you don't need to cut them any smaller in order to get them into the food processor because the chamber is that size. If you want to too, you can just do it really fast and have these big strokes and you can peel a carrot in like five seconds so there is no excuse not to do this. It is not like this is hard or time consuming because in that amount of time I just peeled everything so here, watch and we are going to shred it up."
