Mr. Giant Plants in Florida!......LOL.....That is a good one Mike!.....
I am referring to the Costa Rican Malanga Lila (Purple Malanga)!.....I usually get them down here in Florida, on Sundays at The Organic/Wholesale Food Market Place!....
Scientific Name: Xanthosoma Sagittifolium
An herbaceous perennial plant. It has underground stem, from which sprout swollen, lateral and horizontal shoots, known as cormels. It is oriented to human consumption. The corms are used for human and animal food, thanks to its nutritional content. A countless number of dishes are prepared with it, such as: soft drinks, beverages, soups, pastas, salads, sweets, breads, cakes, cookies and ice-cream.....
A very nutritious food!....
