Flavor is reminiscent of sesame seed oil
by Jance southern IN
This is a fantastic plant, with an excellent and rapid germination rate. It has withstood the shade of tomato and cucumber plants, and along with a good mulch, the heat of late August and early September. The flavor is reminiscent of sesame seed oil. Putting a little of that on top and sprinkled with sesame seeds makes a very delicious and unique salad.
