Good King Henry is a perennial heirloom vegetable, once a staple in European cottage gardens. It is incredibly versatile, as multiple parts of the plant are edible. The young leaves are used like spinach, the tender shoots are cooked like asparagus, and the small flower buds can be prepared like broccoli. The flavor is rich and earthy, with notes of iron and asparagus. A historic and sustainable multi-purpose vegetable.
