About Salsify, (vegetable oyster), raw
Salsify, sometimes called vegetable oyster for its faint seafood-like flavor when cooked, is a root vegetable that has largely disappeared from American tables but was once a common garden crop. Raw, it is starchy and moderately carbohydrate-dense, with useful fiber and a fair amount of protein for a root. It oxidizes quickly once cut, so peeling into acidulated water is necessary. The flavor is mild, earthy, and subtly sweet.
