Pastinaca sativa
These thick, white roots have a pleasant taste. Not only do they have flavour, they have storage ability too. They can be stored all winter until spring. They are prepared like carrots for fresh or cooked vegetables. They can also be used as a starch side dish like potatoes.
Growing instructions
Sow in May in rows 30–40 cm apart. If necessary, thin out to 8 cm within the rows. Regular watering recommended. Harvest the root from October and onwards.
