Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is part of European vegetable variety catalogs. During the cultivation process, the plant forms root crops in the first year of life, from which products in the form of leaf rosettes, grown in the dark, are subsequently obtained.

In scientific research, the variety is used as an object for analyzing biochemical composition, including polyphenol content and antioxidant activity. Specialized agronomic characteristics, such as plant height or maturity dates, are not detailed in public data.
