Not exactly traditional foraging but I have a lot of these that grow without care in untended parts of my garden and I’ve heard they are edible. The tubers are decent size for something that isn’t a crop and I could harvest a good number pretty easily if I wanted.

However, the sources I find online that talk about their edibility don’t seem too reputable, so I’m curious if anyone has first-hand experience. Are they safe to eat in quantity? Any preparation tips?

Please share any knowledge you have!

    A plant tested this way may look fine but then be undigestably in combinaison with other every-day ingredient, it can react badly with a medecine you take or be just toxic enough to poison you when you eat a full portion.

    This is a really good point, biochemical reactions can be unpredictable.
