Harvesting and Usage:
- Harvest: Ready about 60 days from sowing. Harvest the leaves and stems when the first flower buds appear, a few centimeters above the base, to encourage new growth and a possible second harvest.
- Culinary Uses: The leaves and stems with the inflorescences are delicious when steamed or sautéed, enjoyed similarly to asparagus. They make an excellent addition to stir-fries, pasta dishes, or simply dressed with olive oil and seasonings.
