Salsify Sandwich Island

The long white tapering roots of Salsify Sandwich Island have a smooth texture and delicious flavour,thus it is sometimes known as vegetable oyster. Slice and fry or boil until tender or use in soups and pies, it is an ingredient often used in classic French cuisine. Lift in the autumn & winter as needed and use them fresh. Cut back the foliage in the autumn to produce tasty shoots and flowers that can be enjoyed like asparagus in the spring.
