Description

Giant Black Scorzonera is an ancient vegetable plant also known as Black Salsify. It is a perennial cultivated as an annual for its long, very dark-skinned root. Its tasty white flesh can be used cooked as fries, in salads, with cream or butter. Scorzonera is sown from March to May for a harvest from October to April.

Scorzonera has been known about since antiquity for its use as a medicinal plant. Originally from the Iberian Peninsula, it was first consumed in the 17th century. Its root can be enjoyed cooked in salads, as fries, with cream or butter. Scorzonera has digestive and diuretic properties, and contains vitamins A and C, as well as calcium, iron, and magnesium.

Scorzonera is grown like salsify and requires a supply of well-decomposed compost (3 kg/m²) in late autumn or early spring.

Harvest: From October to April as needed (they can be kept in the ground) by digging them up with a spade.

Storage: Scorzonera can be kept fresh for a few days. They can be frozen after being blanched for a few minutes in boiling water. They can also be stored in a cellar for a few months, buried in sand.

Gardener's tip: Maintain regular weeding and hoeing. Cut the flower stalks as soon as they appear.

The <a href="https://en.promessedefleurs.eu/vegetable-gardens/vegetables-by-variety/black-salsify.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">black salsify (Scorzonera hispanica)</a> belongs to the category of old vegetables that have somewhat fallen into oblivion, as they are rarely found on the stalls of markets and supermarkets. And while it sometimes makes an appearance among other root vegetables, it is often referred to as "black salsify." This can create confusion and mislead consumers. Let’s be clear, black salsify is not a salsify! Even though their appearance is similar. However, black salsify produces roots with a black epidermis and white flesh, while <a href="https://en.promessedefleurs.eu/vegetable-gardens/vegetable-seeds/vegetable-seeds-from-a-to-z/mammoth-salsify-vilmorin-seeds.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">salsify</a> has a yellowish-white skin. [caption id="attachment_140619" align="aligncenter" width="1172"]<img class="size-full wp-image-140619" src="https://www.promessedefleurs.com/blogwp/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/scorsonere-salsifis.jpg" alt="black salsify - scorzonera hispanica" width="1172" height="780" /> The roots of <a href="https://en.promessedefleurs.eu/vegetable-gardens/vegetables-by-variety/black-salsify.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">black salsify</a> are black, while those of <a href="https://en.promessedefleurs.eu/vegetable-gardens/vegetable-seeds/vegetable-seeds-from-a-to-z/mammoth-salsify-vilmorin-seeds.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">salsify</a> are yellowish-white[/caption] As for the gardener, they will be able to tell the difference thanks to the foliage, which is slightly different, and the flowering, which is yellow in black salsify, pink or blue in salsify. Another significant difference is that black salsify is a perennial vegetable plant, grown as an annual or biennial, but it can remain in the ground for 3 years. In contrast, salsify is a biennial plant. In terms of cooking, they are consumed in much the same way. Both of these root vegetables have a mild, subtle flavour reminiscent of asparagus or artichoke. In short, due to its taste and ease of cultivation, black salsify is a vegetable that urgently needs to be (re)discovered.

Planting and care

Sowing

The seeds are sown thinly in well-prepared soil, with rows spaced 25 cm (10in) apart. It is advisable to cover the seeds with half a centimetre of compost or fine soil. Lightly tamp down with the back of a rake and water with a fine spray. Keep sufficiently moist until germination, which can take 20 days. To improve germination, you can cover your sowings with a light herb mulch that you will remove after complete germination.

Scorzonera thrives in fairly rich, fresh, deep, and well-cultivated soil, in the sun.

Maintenance

When the young plants have 4 to 5 leaves, thin them out, keeping one plant every 10 cm (4in). Weed and water regularly.
