Scorzonera- a new kind of root vegetable
The name comes from the Italian "scorza" meaning bark and "nera" meaning black. It's a dark-skinned root vegetable that's similar to salsify -- called the oyster plant as it allegedly tastes like oysters.
It can be blanched or boiled. The black skin will stain any cloth permanently.
