Crosnes

Chinese Artichoke Tuber, Japanese artichoke, chorogi, knotroot. They look like maggots. The plant is in the mint family but the edible part of the plant are small white tubers. The tubers can be eaten raw as one might a Jeruseleum artichoke (no relation) or cooked like a potato or other starch.

You eat the tubers either raw or slightly stir fried. If you wish you can steam them too. These are usually found in the most expensive restaurants. They have a really delicious nutty flavour.
