Unusual Old World parsley with a tender, edible 8-10" long; up to 2" diameter root similar to parsnip. The thick, fleshy, creamy-white roots taste like a combination of celery and parsley with a nutty flavor. It is considered essential for soups and stews in Eastern Mediterranean cooking. It may also be thinly sliced or grated to eat raw in salads, and roasted, mashed, fried, or made into chips. The young leaves are used as soup greens and can also be chopped and added to salads or used as a garnish. Used as a breath freshener, digestive aid and in tea to treat high blood pressure and rheumatism.
For best germination, freeze seed for three to five days and then soak in warm water for about eight hours before planting. Cover seed lightly. Darkness helps germination.
