I didn't know what the they where but somebody gave me some and I just peeled it, cut it up and steamed it, but you could totally throw this into all sorts of casseroles, soups, roasts or hangi it's really nice! Not too strong of a flavour kind of like a potato with a celery-like tinge, 10/10 will have more often ๐Ÿ˜‚

Update: apparently they turn to mush if you roast them

Ok thanks! Do you plant from seed or seedlings? And can you get them from your average garden store?

You can plant the vegetable directly and it will just grow from there. Iโ€™d probably sprout it inside for a bit first (think a bit like potatoes getting eyes) and then just half bury it in the ground. We just used some we got from the local veggie market.

Hmm this says April to June, so I guess I will need to wait a while to get my chance.

We planted ours in October and still got tons so take that with a grain of salt. Probably somewhat dependent on the climate in your area too.

I may be able to plan it in October but that doesn't help if I have to wait until April to buy one ๐Ÿ˜†

There are plenty of people selling them on Trademe now for a few $ so maybe check that out

Thanks for the idea, I'll give it a go
