Oca - Mexican Red
A tuber-forming wood sorrel. The leaves look very
typical; if the heat is too great, they fold.
They can be used like sorrel.
The plants form elongated red tubers about 2-4cm in
size in autumn.
The longer you can keep growing in the fall, the
bigger they will get.
Either eat raw or cook until tender, they have a
surprisingly good, slightly sour taste.
