To save money, take a tip from the French: use your potato peeler to shave the outer stiff and dark green stem area (that you would otherwise toss into your compost as too tough). Once down to the white core, it is tender. Cut these peeled ends of the stalks along with always eatable softer green stalk.

BTW, if you like, many vegs are prepped for you all ready to drop in your Veg Stew and sold in modern supermarkets and co-ops, but IMO, one exception—buying organic carrots and peeling them yourself is always more delicious than using a bag of peeled down “baby carrots.”

While I too prefer brown rice, Consumer Reports testing concludes it has more arsenic than does white rice. Therefore I eat neither.
