Native Habitat

Turkish Rocket, Turkish wartycabbage Bunias orientalis native habitat is A weed of cultivated and waste ground.

Edible Uses

Leaves and young stems - raw or cooked. The young leaves have a mild cabbage flavour that goes very well in a mixed salad, though some people find them indigestible. The leaves are a bit hairy so we find them less than wonderful when eaten raw on their own. The cooked leaves make an excellent vegetable. The leaves are available early in the year, usually towards the end of winter, and the plant will continue to produce leaves until late autumn, with a bit of a gap when the plant is in flower. Flower buds and flowering stems - raw or cooked. A pleasant mild flavour with a delicate sweetness and cabbage-like flavour, they make an excellent broccoli substitute though they are rather smaller.
