Prep notes

Invasive in North American woods — pick it. Garlic-mustard bite, brassica vitamin C. First-year rosettes are milder than the tall second-year plants.

Season

Often seasonal where grown; year-round when imported or stored.

Grocery / shop food data only. Not a wild forage guide. Thrive shows composition curiosity — not medical advice.
