{"title":"Sagittaria","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn east Asia, people cook and eat the walnut-sized, starchy, potato-like Sagittaria rhizomes, and in the past, so did native Americans.

Apparently, harvesting the deep-growing tubers in fall is not as hard as you might think.

When grown in water, Sagittaria tubers will float to the surface after being loosened. Sometimes, the young leaves are also cooked and eaten. In the garden, Sagittaria prefers a moist site such as a bog or the edge of a pond and it will even grow in water and in aquariums.
