Khalis. Brassica Napus L. var. napobrassica. Seeds.
Khalis is a great energy source because it contains natural sugars (glucose and fructose) and starches. The stems contain carbohydrates, proteins, minerals (potassium, sulphur, phosphorus, iron), pectins, essential oils, slightly carotene, nicotinic acid, thiamine and riboflavin. Rich in vitamin C as well as containing vitamins B1, B2 and PP.
The stalks are eaten both fresh and baked, stewed and cooked. The stems are more delicious baked than cooked.
Children are advised to give the stalks fresh - peel and cut into small Gabalina, give as a healthy nipple to subvert while watching mullets.
Boiled stems should not be stored for more than three hours as they are then almost completely degraded by vitamin C.
To prevent the cheesiness of the stems, pour them with boiling water before baking or cooking.
The stems should be treated with stainless steel knives as vitamin C breaks down by oxidation in contact with the iron.
The stems shall be sown from April to May at a distance of 30 cm in a permanent place. The harvest comes in from August to October.
10 seeds per pack.
