My favorite international grocery store has a bed full of these. I collected a couple seed pods no one was going to miss, planted them in the fall by the street where it gets no water or fert. Then two different utilities companies tore up the ground twice in winter. Just one plant came up.
@gardening@jblue@plants One of my favorite flowers of far east Asia! Here in Korea we eat the roots served in a sweet-and-spicy marinade! (Toraji muchim). 😋🌶️
@jblue@gardening@plants The recipe is nice with either reconstituted or fresh root. The preparation is the same for both; soak the roots in cold water for a bit, then rub with salt & rinse.
