Rampion seed is difficult to know into which category to add this culinary delight and so we have given the Rampion its own pride of place! Formerly regularly cultivated in kitchen gardens, its leaves are used as spinach, its roots like asparagus or raw in salads and sauces and it has the most beautiful purple flower to decorate the patch! The Grimm’s tales heroine Rapunzel is named after it!
