Salsify

Salsify is a perennial herb that grows wild in Europe and Asia. It is also called common viper's grass or the oyster plant. Wild chicory and bitter chicory are often improperly categorized as salsify.

The salsify root may be prepared the same way as parsnips. It is quick-cooking and can be served with different sauces. The tender leaves can be used in salad.

Benefits of Salsify

Salsify contains a natural insulin that, when digested by the stomach's hydrochloric acid, helps take place of the starch digestion that the pancreas would have to do. It has an alkaline ash.
