Fast growing and highly productive, it is harvested for its tender young greens, which have a distinctive flavour often described as mildly bitter with subtle asparagus notes. The crisp stalks and leaves are equally suited to fresh salads, stir-fries, soups or lightly sautéed dishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA cool-season crop, Catalogna develops its best flavour and texture in autumn and spring, producing abundant leafy growth over a long harvest period.
