Root parsley
3,55 $
Root parsley, the lesser known cousin of the curly and flat parsleys, is mainly grown for its hefty white root. This root’s taste is very mild and sweet, and it can be cooked just like carrots, celeriac, or parsnips. The fragrant leaves can also be eaten just like common parsley, but should be harvested in moderate amounts to avoid weakening the root.

Cyperus esculentus
Tigernut, or earth almond, is a crop cultivated for its edible tubers. The small roots have an almond or coconut taste.
Also called yellow nutsedge, the plant is considered a pest in some regions. In Southern Ontario, farmers are desperately trying to get rid of the invasor, in vain. In Quebec, the winters are too cold, the plant dies and cannot reproduce.
Tigernut is used in the preparation of a sweet, milk-like beverage, known in Spain as horchata de chufa. In Africa, it is common at local markets. People eat it as a snack, just like peanut or coconut. It is also used to produce oil, juice, and flour.
It is one of the oldest plants grown in Ancient Egypt. Tigernut was probably an important food source at the time. For instance, during dynastic periods, it was used to make cakes.

Essential in any garden, thyme is an herb originally from Eurasia. Perennial and hardy, key ingredient in Provencal spices, melliferous, the list goes on as to why this plant is so valuable in a garden. Egyptians and Etruscans mixed thyme in with their ointments to embalm their deceased. Greeks would burn it in front of altars and houses because they believed it had purifying properties. In the language of flowers, thyme is a sign of bravery, long-lasting love, creativity, dynamism, and physical resistance.
In infusion, with a bit of lemon, it is said to be a miracle cure for minor respiratory infections. Thyme also has stimulating, desinfecting, expectorant, digestive, and several other properties, making it a great ally for the winter.
