Water chestnuts: May be considered invasive in your area.

But they sound tasty also.


I think there are two kinds of water chestnuts, the ones that states like
Massachusetts have been battling are a different kind from the ones sold in
asian grocery stores. Last year I bought a bag of fresh water chestnuts from
an asian grocery store. It sprouted into a sort of grassy like plant. Didn't
look like the picture in that url. I also didn't get it to produce anything
more then the grass like shoots.

Maybe your luck will be better.
