There's a root vegetable that used to be a staple in American kitchen gardens, especially among Pennsylvania Dutch households, and most people today have never even heard its name. It's called skirret, a perennial root that, by most accounts, tastes like biting into an apple dipped in honey. In this video: what skirret actually is, why it quietly disappeared from seed catalogs over the last century, how to safely tell it apart from a dangerous look-alike, where to actually source real seed or root divisions, and everything you need to know to grow it yourself, from planting to a proper fall harvest. ⚠️ Important: Skirret has a toxic look-alike, wild parsnip, whose sap can cause serious skin burns. Please watch the full video before attempting to source or identify this plant. 👇 Did your family grow something like this that's disappeared from most gardens today?
