Histoire
Usages
Presumably indigenous in the E and SE European parts of the former Soviet Union, but today widespread and naturalized in Europe, also often introduced to other continents. It is cultivated at many places within the temperate zones of the Old and New World, mainly in Europe and North America, more seldom in the mountains of the tropics. It is mostly grown on small plots in house or abbey gardens for both culinary and medicinal uses, more seldom large scaled production can be found in Germany in centres like Upper Franconia, Thuringia and the Spreewald (firstly documented in 1569), the Mississippi-valley, Wisconsin and California in North America or in South Africa. The peeled and grated taproots are eaten raw, mixed with salt, vinegar and oil. As a hot spice it is mainly eaten together with meat and fish dishes. But this species is also used as a medicinal plant and sometimes it is cultivated only for its leaves. It has been known and perhaps also cultivated since ancient times; for Central Europe cultivation had been documented since the 12th cent., to where it was brought by Slavic tribes. With exception of recent cultivars an extremely seed-sterile species obviously of hybridogenic origin. Further information about the variability are given by Rhodes et al. (1969).

En Turquie et dans les Balkans, les feuilles servent à envelopper des boulettes de viande, de riz ou de boulgour, appelées sarma. (Dogan et al., 2015, 2017).
