Nutritional values

After peas and beans, black salsifies are the most nutritious vegetable of all. They are distinguished by a high content of vitamins B, E and C and abundant minerals such as phosphorus, protein and calcium. Especially remarkable: the roots also contain a lot of inulin, which has been proven to have a positive influence on fat metabolism and intestinal flora.

The "asparagus of the little man" is still relatively unknown in our country. One reason for this may be that until the 17th century it was used exclusively as a medicinal plant - and against snake bites and plague of all things! It cannot be the taste, because it is really delicate.
