Yes , I have tried it.
its… Not bad. Pleasent. Kind of bland, a little slimy. Crunchy.
It grows wild here, and likely where you are too.!
There is one growing on my mail box post as a weed ,for example.
It has little “potatoes " Peanut seed size , above ground ,on the vine in the fall. And a bigger root below ground.
The wild ones never get as big as this one, I bought at a oriental market in Indiana on my way back from NAFEX
I believe this to be a “improved " strain. Some of which are available on line. Not sure it will grow, as it is the bottom part, the top , with growing buds have been cut off.
I want too make a good effort to grow some, " cultivated”.
As they grow fairly well on there own " wild”
Considered a invasive species.
