Another open source guide to amazing food that you can’t buy in the grocery store: "Adapted to the cold dry climates of the South American Andes, arracacha is a traditional root crop with the above-ground plant and tuberous roots edible, similar to celeriac (celery).

The roots resemble stout, short carrots, with lustrous off-white skin. The interior may be white, yellow, or purple.”
