| This is an absolutely wonderful vegetable to grow. Instead of a root, you eat the seed pods which are very tasty. The taste is almost like the inside of the broccoli or cabbage stem. You get tons of the tiny seed pods that need to be picked before they get woody. This plant gets pretty huge, so make sure you give it enough space. The plants were about 3' x 4' tall/wide. I grow this every year, and just one plant is enough for our whole family if you keep it picked as it produces more this way. |
