Young shoots - cooked. A delicious flavour. This is one of the first species to be ready to eat in the spring, the young shoots are usually boiled in at least one change of water. The shoots, which are 4 - 6cm in diameter, are harvested in the spring when they are about 8cm above the ground, cutting them about 5cm below soil level.
