🌱 Tatar Horseradish Katran Seeds – Crambe tataria, also known as Katran, is a distinctive perennial root vegetable related to horseradish. It produces smooth, straight cylindrical roots weighing approximately 150 to 350 g, with a strong horseradish flavor and aroma, and an average yield of 3.9 kg per m².
Tatar Horseradish Katran is a unique perennial root vegetable cultivated for its strong horseradish-like flavor and distinctive smooth root formation. Katran is an excellent choice for gardeners looking for an unusual culinary crop that can be grown for both fresh consumption and processing. Unlike common horseradish, Katran develops a straight, cylindrical and smooth root, making it particularly attractive for gardeners interested in producing a clean, substantial root for culinary use.
The roots are straight, cylindrical and smooth, with an individual weight of approximately 150 to 350 g. They have a strong horseradish aroma and a distinctive pungent flavor that makes them suitable for many of the same culinary applications as traditional horseradish. Under suitable growing conditions, the average yield can reach approximately 3.9 kg per m².
Katran produces large, tender and juicy leaves without pubescence. The leaves form a semi-raised rosette and can also be used as a culinary vegetable. The plant is suitable for cultivation as a longer-term crop, with root development taking place over a two to three year growing period when large mature roots are desired.
Katran seeds can be sown before winter or in early spring after approximately 3 months of stratification. Cold stratification helps overcome seed dormancy and supports more reliable germination. For good root development, use a planting spacing of approximately 70 x 40 cm. This gives each plant sufficient room to develop a long and straight root.
Choose a location in full sun with fertile, well-structured and well-drained soil. Deep, loose soil is particularly beneficial for root crops because compacted ground can interfere with the development of straight roots. Keep the soil consistently moist during active growth, while avoiding prolonged waterlogging. Good drainage is important for maintaining healthy roots.
The strong root can be grated and used to prepare horseradish sauces and spicy condiments. It can be combined with vinegar, salt and other ingredients to create a traditional horseradish accompaniment for meat, sandwiches and cooked dishes. Young leaves can also be used fresh in salads and other vegetable dishes. The roots can be consumed fresh or preserved and processed for later use.
