A root vegetable related to dandelions, salsify is also named the oyster plant because of its slightly oyster-y taste. The root looks like a long, slightly hairy parsnip, with creamy white flesh and thick skin.

Salsify can be mashed, boiled or used in soups and stews, and is gorgeous in a gratin. Once peeled, drop in acidulated water as it will discolour like some kumara. The flowering shoots can be used like asparagus, either raw or cooked, and the flowers can be added to salad, while the sprouted seeds are great in salads and sandwiches.

Plant in spring for a winter root crop. Frost resistant.

Contents: 1 tablespoon of seed
