{"product_id":"409102-1","title":"Mashua 'Purple Striped'","description":"\u003cp\u003eAVAILABLE IN WINTER UNTIL STOCKS LAST. AVAILABLE AS A PLANT FROM APRIL. \n\u003cbr\u003eA typical tuberous crop from the Andes mountains (Peru), which also grows into a fantastic ornamental plant! In our climate, the plant is increasingly winter-hardy, although tubers and foliage should be well protected in case of frost. This versatile crop is gaining more and more culinary attention: the tubers can be chopped raw into salads for a spicy touch. The leaves and flowers have a mild cress flavour and are an adornment in any salad. After a few days in sunlight, the tubers become slightly less pungent. Furthermore, the tubers can flavour many stews or stir-fries. The climbing plant has lobed leaves, which closely resemble those of its relative: the nasturtium. 'Purple Striped', like 'Ken Aslett', produces beautiful yellow and red trumpet flowers from September onwards. Typical of this variety are the creamy-yellow tubers with red or purple stripes under the eyes. Harvest the tubers late, as they develop at the end of the growing season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- SEARCH-NAMES-START --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDenominations:\u003cbr\u003e\nLatin: Tropaeolum tuberosum\u003cbr\u003e\nDutch: Mashua\u003cbr\u003e\nEnglish: Mashua\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- SEARCH-NAMES-END --\u003e","brand":"Vreeken","offers":[{"title":"3 large tubers","offer_id":44177559552053,"sku":"409102.1","price":7.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0606\/9092\/3573\/files\/409102.jpg?v=1750793217","url":"https:\/\/www.vreeken.nl\/en\/products\/409102-1","provider":"Vreeken's Zaden","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
