Herb
Arat
B tier
Arat is a rooted parsley cultivar selected for reliable taproots and usable tops—similar kitchen role to Hamburg types with modern uniformity for market growers. Roots are smooth enough for easy peeling; flavour is gentle parsley-earth. Roast with other winter roots or purée into soups. Tops chop into gremolata when the main harvest is underground.
