Little Veggie Patch Co - CELERIAC 'WHITE ALABASTER' HEIRLOOM SEEDS

Versatile Celeriac with White Flesh and Celery Flavour

Grow Little Veggie Patch Co Celeriac 'White Alabaster' Heirloom Seeds for a versatile root vegetable that can be enjoyed from bulb to stem and leaves. The bulb has white flesh that discolours less than some other varieties when cooked, while the stems and leaves have a strong celery flavour.

Celeriac can be eaten raw, steamed or roasted and continues growing well into cold weather. Cooler conditions help convert the starches into sugars.
