Description

Also known as the vegetable oyster this is a vegetable that is rarely seen in UK supermarkets but often seen on the continent. If you don't know this vegetable you should! If you're worried about how to cook this we've put some basic cooking guidance below.

It has a very distinctive and pleasant sweetish mild flavour, totally different from any other vegetable and often said to be similar to oysters - yes oysters from the sea! If that puts you off (which it shouldn't) some stores sell it in tins, ready to eat, so you can try it first.

Grows as a very long white tapering root rather like long white parsnips. The flesh is sweet and tender - in fact, Sandwich Island is often noted as the finest tasting variety.

The roots keep well in the ground all winter long (even in the hardest of winters) and will still be good to eat right through to March.
