FAQs about salsify
In addition to being low in calories, salsify has several health benefits, as it's a quality source of these minerals and vitamins:
- Dietary fiber: A single serving of salsify has almost one-quarter of your recommended daily intake of fiber. Much of the fiber content is in the form of inulin, which is a rare prebiotic fiber that increases good bacteria in your gut.
- Iron: High levels of iron help improve your circulation and create red blood cells.
- Magnesium: Significant levels of magnesium aid in the fight against age-related conditions such as arthritis and osteoporosis.
- Potassium: Its high level of potassium and low level of sodium means that salsify can improve blood pressure by relaxing blood vessels and reducing the strain on the cardiovascular system. Salsify has as much potassium as bananas.
- Vitamin C: This vitamin can stimulate the production of white blood cells and help the immune system.
It's best to consume salsify when it's fresh, although it can be kept unwashed and placed in a dark place such as a basement or cupboard. It prefers cooler temperatures with high humidity if possible. However, if the salsify is broken when purchased, you must use it immediately, or it will discolor and spoil. You can also place it in a perforated plastic bag in the refrigerator, where it will keep for about one to two weeks. Remove the roots before refrigerating.
