A wonderful crop for the winter vegetable garden

The flavour and texture improve once the frosts have started as its sugars are released by the cold. This variety is very popular for autumn and winter Italian cooking. I love this in a finely chopped topping for crostini, mixed with a few capers and green olives.

Please note, illustrated packets are being introduced gradually over the coming months, availability may vary.
