They may be boiled, used in soups, or grated and fried as fritters. The culture of Salsify is the same as for parsnips. The roots are perfectly hardy and may be left in the ground all winter, or a quantity of roots for winter use may be dug after the first frosts and stored in a pit or in sand or damp earth in the cellar.
