{"product_id":"409151-1","title":"Oca 'Crimson \u0026 Gold'","description":"\u003cp\u003eAVAILABLE IN WINTER UNTIL STOCKS LAST. AFTER JUNE THE TUBERS ARE POTTED AND SOLD WITH A SURCHARGE OF € 1.00. \u003cbr\u003eThis is a successful selection in beautiful red and yellow color. This gives high yield! The crop forms long stems and many tubers on the above-ground stems. The long stolons on the stems grow again into the ground and form full-fledged tubers there: fresh-sour in taste. They can be used and eaten raw in salads, cooked, in a stir-fry, or deep-fried. Young shoots and leaves of the oca are ornamental and deliciously spicy in salads!\u003cbr\u003ePerhaps unknown to us, but a staple food in the Andes region after the potato, also very popular in New Zealand. They grow up to a height of 3000 m! Our tubers are spherical, with transverse indentations, the clover leaf and the orange-yellow flowers are very decorative. The taste is like a potato with a pleasant, slightly sour aftertaste (oxalic acid). This disappears, however, if the tubers have been in the sun for a few days, they then become floury and sweet. Cultivation in brief: in March, bring the tubers to growth in a warm, light spot, if possible, put them outside on nice days and plant them permanently outside from mid-May. Cover late in autumn to get the longest possible ripening, the tubers must overwinter frost-free.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- SEARCH-NAMES-START --\u003e\u003cp\u003eNames:\u003cbr\u003eLatin: Oxalis tuberosa, or also Oxalis crenata\u003cbr\u003eDutch: Oca\u003cbr\u003eAlso: Oxalis crenata\u003cbr\u003eEnglish: Oca\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- SEARCH-NAMES-END --\u003e","brand":"Vreeken","offers":[{"title":"5 bulbs","offer_id":44177560076341,"sku":"409151.1","price":3.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0606\/9092\/3573\/files\/409151.jpg?v=1750793236","url":"https:\/\/www.vreeken.nl\/en\/products\/409151-1","provider":"Vreeken's Zaden","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
