Eat like your ancestors did. This versatile plant can be used as root vegetable, the flowers are not only pretty but tasty, the leaves can be used as veggie, and the latex that oozes from the roots when you peel them can be chewed like gum. The roots are at their best in year two, and in the meanwhile, you can enjoy your greens and edible flowers. Be a little cautious about letting them go to seed since the seeds germinate prolifically.

  • Growing Information

    How to Sow

    Salsify seeds germinate very easily and prolifically. As root veggies, they’re best sown directly where they will grow. Plant about 10mm deep and keep moist. A light layer of mulch will help you to keep the soil moist without overwatering.

    How to Harvest

    Greens and flowers can be cut throughout the growing season. You can eat the roots in year one, but it’s best to leave them a little longer. Before peeling the roots, boil them in water for 10 to 15 minutes since the latex they exude when peeled raw is very sticky indeed. Thereafter, they’re ready to use in soups or stews, roasted, or sautéed with garlic.
