Sanguisorba minor
Perennial edible plant. Its latin name derives from sanguis (blood) and sorbere (absorb) and refers to its haemostatic capacity. The roots contain chemicals used to stop bleeding. The plant is also high in vitamin C.
Nowadays, parsley rivals burnet but it was once an essential herb in many recipes. Its leaves have a cucumber-like taste and can be used in salads, sauces, omelette, soups, etc. Cut leaves when needed. The plant is very low maintenance and lives on love and fresh water. It is hardy in Quebec and can be harvested late in the season.
Its pretty little red flowers make this plant perfect for garden bushes.
Scorzonera hispanica
Black salsify or Spanish salsify is a vegetable cultivated for its long black skin taproot. The name Scorzonera derives from the Italian scorza (bark) and nera (black). As we can guess from its yellow flowers, the plant belongs to the Asteraceae family.
The leaves are edible too and the flowers can be eaten before they open, like small broccolis. The white flesh root may be harvested during the first or second year. To give its full potential, the plant needs to develop with enough soil profundity.
If you let it overwinter in the ground, even here in Quebec, the plant will produce flowers the following year. Once they are ripe, it will be time for you to harvest the seeds, but beware : birds, and especially goldfinch, love them!
Black salsify is rich in carbohydrates, minerals and vitamins.
