The white flesh of these roots is wonderful for use in soups when peeled and boiled. They have a flavour similar to oysters, so this variety is sometimes called vegetable oyster. These take a good 120 days to grow but are a good keeper that can be overwintered. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSalsify in its modern form comes from 16th century Italy and later made its way to the rest of Europe.
