Bartowich Long
B tier
Bartowich Long is a long-rooted parsley type prized for extended, slender taproots suited to deep soils and traditional central European winter cooking. Leaf quality is secondary but adequate; the root is the crop. Slice into broths and braises where a gentle herbal sweetness is wanted without strong parsnip musk. A specialty root for heirloom vegetable cooks.
