Black root with a nut flavour. Scorzonera hispanica L. Seeds.
Black roots, which are edible fresh, are most commonly used in food, although they tend to be peeled due to hardness. Roots are a very important source of magnesium and iron - these minerals are found more often than other commonly grown vegetables. Roots are used in stews and as an important food supplement to meals, they can also be pickled and their juice obtained and drunk.
Black roots sow in a permanent location from March to April.
Harvest comes in from October to November.
