www.durgan.org/URL/?OSBCU 1 November 2011 Crosne (Stachys affinis) A few crosne tubers were dug, and prepared for use as snacks. They can also be used in salads. The texture is similar to a raw potato, and flavour is pleasant. Apparently they can be pickled. They are just another vegetable to me. Crosne (CRONE)(Stachys affinis)require a long season, and they can be left in the ground all Winter if the ground doesn’t freeze hard.They are pure white and turn yellow/brown if exposed to air for two or three days. I dig a few at a time and use them fresh. Keeping in water also causes deterioration in a few days. Propagation is by the tuber. I have been growing them for about three years.

Hello Guys crosnes are tuber vegetables that have an overall look that is very similar of a huge caterpillar.One's body of the crosne main is somewhat knobby and boring white-colored in shade.The crosne was first developed in France and requires its name from the France town of Crosnes.Thanks!

For some reason, seeing that picture doesn't motivate me to plant Crosne.
