Arrowroot plants produce Tubers or roots which are edible. Disease resistant, fast growing and easy to multiply. One of the key plants for fighting hunger and malnutrition.

@Jo_PrayerN_actionCenter That looks like kudzu root, that stuff is a menace in NC.

@daniel
Thank you for responding. It helped us to be careful about disposing extra plants. Please share your thoughts on(after some desktop study) introducing them to new regions.

@Jo_PrayerN_actionCenter I don’t know for sure if that’s what it is, but if it is, don’t leave roots anywhere you don’t want it spreading and cut it back before any seed pods have a chance to form. It’s a cool plant, livestock and people can eat it and it grows fast. Treat it like a fire, nice and useful, but it belongs in the hearth, not burning down the whole house.

@paga4 Kuya, do you have any idea about ornamental Arrowroot plants? With variegated leaves. Are they edible, I noticed people growing them in some mountain villages.
