Did you know?

One of the old perennial vegetables of European cottage gardens: its spring shoots are used like asparagus and its leaves like spinach. It fell almost entirely out of use as newer vegetables spread.

Consumption tip

Even natural produce may carry pesticide residues. Wash fruits and vegetables under plenty of running water and discard the outer leaves of leafy greens. A short soak in vinegar water can also help reduce residues. Where possible, prefer certified organic or good-agricultural-practice products.
