A staple of Oceanykan agriculture, the argelben is a versatile root vegetable prized for its mild sweetness, soft texture, and uncanny adaptability in cooking. Growing well in temperate climates and requiring minimal irrigation, it has become a key ingredient in everything from stews and roasts to raw salads and pickled preserves. Its distinctive flavour, best described as "a compromise between a carrot and an onion", makes it a favorite among both home cooks and survivalists. Argelben is often fermented to produce Putrizk.
