This plant grows about 2 feet tall and has waxy spearhead shaped dull green leaves. When it is dug up they will produce between 15 to 25 tubular vegetables that look a little like a sweet potato that has a thick very dark red husk covering the meaty center which is a dark red. On average each of these will be about the size of a mans fist. | |||
They taste much like potatoes, but are a little spicy and some can be as hot as mild peppers. Served raw, it is normally used as a chopped ingredient in salads. When cooked they are often served as a stand alone side dish to marine life. | |||
