mangel

The name of the field beet is, in the language of the unlearned, mangel-wurzel, "the root of poverty."

The Red Beet, as well as the Mangel-wurzel, we owe to this humble seaside plant.

Deshalb sy bald grossen mangel erlittend an allem dem das der Mensh gelben soll.

We had him from the work'us when he was seven, to chop mangel wurzel, and here he's been ever since, nigh twelve year.

The charred mangel-wurzel leaves are to be used in precisely the same way as tea.
