Its texture is firm when raw but becomes tender and slightly creamy upon cooking. If you're looking for an unusual root vegetable with an earthy flavor, look no further than delicious and nutritious scorzonera.

Scorzonera is best stored unwashed in a cool, dark, and humid place, such as the refrigerator's crisper drawer, to prevent it from drying out. Wrap it loosely in a damp paper towel or place it in a perforated plastic bag to maintain humidity. Properly stored scorzonera can last for several weeks. Before use, scrub the roots thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris.
