Solar/scrubbed

Hi

Cooking is a magical process of transformation that utilizes the four elements: Earth (the food itself, which sprang up from our planet), Fire (the source of heat - flame, solar, electric), Water (the liquid used to prepare or to cook the food) and Air (the steam that rises from the heated substance).

Does "solar" mean here "solar energy"?

When kitchens came into being they were rarely idle. Soup-bubbling couldrons hung over oak-scented fires in huge open-hearth fireplaces. Baskets overflowed with fruits, vegetables and scrubbed roots.

Does "scrubbed" mean that they were peeled?
