Edible Roots

Some of the photos can be clicked on to enlarge

	Jerusalem Artichoke	Found through out the Southern States, Central and Southern America and the Caribbean. Also known as "wire whist" Because it's vine has hooks that grab you. The adventious portion of the root is tender but the rest of the root is best used if beaten into a pulp or grated. Also makes a flour substitute. The leaf is shaped kind of like a spearhead.
Photo pending	Cassava	This plant is often referred to as Cassava, Manioc, Yucca, and Tapioca depending on where you are. It is a staple food of many nations, and is found in the wild. This root is cooked anyhow that you would cook a potato and is often time grated and used as a starchy flour in cakes, breads etc. Caution it must be peeled and cooked, as raw Cassava can be poisonous.
Photo pending	Yams	Sounds like thanks Giving Dinner doesn't it. This great foods were wild before man cultivated them and can still be found in may semitropical locations.
