Vetch root
- Product number: 318900
- Origin: North America
- Latin: Hedysarum boreale
A great flavour enhancer! The young, tender roots are sweet and taste like a sweet carrot with a hint of liquorice... Give the plants a prominent place, as the flowering is exuberant: butterfly-shaped in lilac hues. They are perennial and very hardy, growing 10-50 cm tall. Important is their need for sun and well-drained, moist soil. If it stays dry for a long time, the roots become tough.
