Root vegetables are vegetables grown for their tubers (roots, turnips, etc.). Indispensable in the vegetable garden, these plants are a year-round garnish for soups, salads and hot dishes. They keep well in silos, buried in dry sand or in the ground over winter. Most varieties are resistant to harsh climatic conditions. Root vegetables thus offer the possibility of varying our consumption of local vegetables with the seasons.
All our packaged vegetable seeds are organic, royalty-free and reproducible. The Kokopelli catalog offers a wide range of root vegetable varieties, to be enjoyed in many recipes for their taste, color and medicinal properties.
Our root vegetable categories: beet, carrot, celeriac, radish, turnip, parsnip, as well as the hardy rutabaga, kohlrabi, burdock, scorzonera, salsify and tuberous chervil.
Most root vegetable seeds can be sown directly in the ground, but some varieties can also be grown in pots. Our sowing advice is available in our product sheets.
