Agretto or Roscano - 12 plants - Orto Mio

Lischeri, roscani, agretti, barba dei frati, barba del negus… many are the names of this vegetable, much appreciated by gourmets. It requires limited irrigation and fertilization. After cutting (at 5-10 cm), it can grow back for another 2-3 harvests. The stems and young fleshy leaves are used in cooking, when they reach 15-20 cm in height, before they become too hard. They are eaten boiled, in omelettes, savory pies and other tasty recipes.
