Mammoth Sandwich Island Oyster Plant Seeds

Mammoth Sandwich Island Salsify is an heirloom root vegetable known for its long, carrot-like, off-white roots that have a distinct oyster-like flavor, earning it the nickname "vegetable oyster" or "oyster plant". A cool-weather crop, it thrives in deep, well-drained soil and full sun, can be left in the ground to overwinter for a spring harvest, and offers edible flowers and leaves. The versatile roots are used in stews, cream sauces, or can be sliced and fried to enhance their unique flavor.
