I grow it, lacksadaisically. Unless there is a long, warm, damp
autumn, it produces ridiculously small tubers. They fall apart,
rather, when cooked , but have a flavour rather like a cross
between a potato and sorrel. I have boggled guests with it!

I have also grown chufa, but forgot it one year and so no longer
do. That produced a reasonably number of tiny tubers, that tasted
exactly like fresh coconut with the skin on. If I were to make
Horchata, that is what I would use.
