American underground nuts

    5 responses

snottiegobble starts with ...
Anyone growing these? I had them in Vic. & they are fascinating delicate vines that grow up fences quite readily. The 'nuts' are formed underground along the roots like a large string of beans. The longer you leave them the bigger they get & they lose the initial bead shape.
They are very starchy, but cooked taste reasonable. An original American Indian food.

Speedy, I think youve found them, Thanks!
The question is does anyone have a couple of tubers to sell? They only have to be first year tubers to reproduce. ( size of a grape)
