Chervil root 'Altan' / 'Delta'

Product number: 123210
Origin: Europe
Latin: Turnip-rooted chervil

Who still remembers tuberous chervil? A forgotten vegetable since the 18th and 19th centuries. Short, thick taproots with a mildly sweet, slightly chestnut-like taste. Despite the name, it's not related to common chervil; in fact, its leaves are slightly toxic. Delicious with a meat stew or in a puree, these tubers are much better known in France. We offer an improved French variety here, which, although expensive, provides better and more consistent production than the wild variety.

Names:
Latin: Chaerophyllum bulbosum
Dutch: Knolkervel
English: Tuberous-rooted Chervil

Sowing method: Mix seeds with moist silver or masonry sand in a tray. Stir daily for the first 2-4 weeks in a warm place (seeds swell), then place the covered tray in the refrigerator for 4-6 weeks (germination hormones are activated), stirring occasionally. Afterwards, sow in rows with 30 cm between them.
