It is a productive and versatile cool-season crop, with a mild, slightly earthy flavor that works beautifully in salads when young and in saut\u00e9s, soups, stews, pasta and other cooked dishes when mature.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">The plants form large, upright clumps and tolerate repeated harvesting well. Pick the outer leaves as needed while allowing the center to continue producing fresh growth.
