This document is HS559, part of the Horticultural Sciences Department series at the University of Florida.

The plant grows wild in the Himalayas and India, and its tubers are consumed boiled or raw. The document also covers the plant's cultivation in Florida, noting that it produces pods and seeds similar to mung beans, although the edibility of the seeds is less documented.
