This unusual plant produces a light green, swollen, globe-shaped stem just above ground. The globe has a mild, sweet taste that is best during cool weather. The crisp texture and sweet taste make it perfect for use fresh in salads or with dips; can also be cooked by steaming or boiling. Plants are attractive to flower beds. Partial/full sun.

Direct-sow seed several weeks before the last spring frost date as seedlings are hardy, and thin to stand at least 4in apart so they are not crowded. Choose a sunny location and a well-drained soil. Make succession sowing in late summer for a fall harvest.
