The Flavours Garden


  • The forgotten vegetables square

With the evolution of taste, some vegetables, very common in the Middle Age, have little by little deserted the kitchen gardens : parsnip, rutabaga, Jerusalem artichoke, etc. But, for the greatest delight of our palates, they are coming back thanks to modern cuisine.

Jerusalem artichoke
(Helianthus tuberosus L.)

Rutabaga (Brassica napus L.
var. napobrassica (L.) Rchb.)

Oca (Oxalis tuberosa Molina)

Parsnip (Pastinaca sativa L. subsp. sativa)

Alexanders (Smyrnium olusatrum L.)
