Fiore Blu organic salsify

$ 5,00

Tragopogon porrifolius, Asteraceae

leek-leaved salsify, common cercifi, oysterplant

Fiore Blu salsify is a hardy cultivar of this forgotten vegetable, which has good flavor and looks beautiful when left to flower.

Already domesticated in antiquity, salsify has remained a marginal vegetable, destined for the curious and the discerning who recognize a delicate oyster flavor in its long, white, spindle-shaped roots. The purple flowers (which close in the afternoon) are edible.
