Small, slightly citrus flavoured potatoe like tubers. Grow disease and pest free. Their leaves are also edible and can be added in small quantities to salads. Replant a few of your crop the following year for ongoing production.

These plants sprout pretty wing shaped leaves from spring. You can eat the leaves in small quantities (they contain oxalic acid). They have a citrus flavour, which is a nice addition to salads. In the winter, the plant dies down. Underground it produces multiple tubers which are also edible. ou can eat them either raw or fried or roasted. They too taste slightly lemony, but have the consistency of potatoes. These plants are not troubled by blight or any other diseases or pests and so can make a good substitute for potatoes. When you dig them up, pop a few back in the ground, or keep some aside to chit on your windowsill in late winter and plant out in May.

I am selling a mixed variety of colours with at least 5 per bag. I only have small (1cm3 and less) left, but these will still produce plant which can kick start your collection as in good soil they are likely to produce bigger tubers which you can save to plant the following year. I can post these within the UK only.
