None of it. It's all eaten.

None of it. If I buy fresh broccoli the stem is trimmed then cut into
bite-size pieces and cooked with the florets.

I only buy canned pickled beets so I can't answer how I'd trim and cook
fresh beets.

Carrots get a quick wash and a light peel. Potatoes are also washed then
peeled unless I'm making potato salad. Then they are just washed and the
peelings become part of the finished dish (red potatoes). Radishes get a
washing and a light trim of the top and bottom.
