Never grown them myself but I do have some seeds but left it too late to sow :( Will try them next year as I've read some good reviews on them, and I always like to try odd things lol :P

Link below describes it well

They are easy to grow, but the roots tend to be quite small and I felt were not worth the effort to grow as a veg.
