Roots are white and long, similar in shape to carrots. Taste is reminiscent of celery and parsley.
This is a valuable vegetable with high potassium content. It can be used fresh, boiled, fried, steamed, or canned.
Grows best in medium to heavy, humus-rich soil. Seeds germinate slowly.
Roots can be left under snow in winter; in spring, they become juicier and taste better than when stored in a cellar.
