The tubers were eaten: "and the way they found out they were good to eat--originally, what the story goes--is that the wild turkey nebbed them up on the leaves in the early spring. And that little tiny potato, in finding what they were eating, they tasted em and found out that they were edible. It took a lot of em to sustain you, but they were edible, and good to eat raw. They taste much like eating a raw sweet potato. . . You find them in the woodlands. The first of all the flowering plants that grows in the woods is the turkey pea or the salt and pepper". |
