New Zealand Yam – 10 tubers £7.99
Also known as the New Zealand Yam, this unusual member of the Oxalis family has long been grown in the Andes for its nutritionally rich tubers with a tangy lemon flavour that becomes nuttier once cooked. ‘ The red skinned tubers have a crisp pale orange or creamy coloured flesh that can be eaten raw in salads or boiled, baked, and fried - just like potatoes. ‘ You can even add the attractive shamrock-like leaves and shoots to salads for a refreshing citrus twist. ‘ Oca makes a particularly attractive crop in the vegetable garden or even in a container on the patio. ‘ Height: 30cm (12"). ‘ Spread: 60cm (24"). ‘
