  1. indian turnip

    Indian Turnip is a common name for several plant species including Arisaema triphyllum and Peltandra virginica, typically found in North America. It is usually characterized by a single, green and white striped leaf stalk that splits into three parts, each bearing a set of leaflets. The root, shaped like a turnip, has a harsh, peppery taste when raw but becomes sweeter when cooked, resembling the flavor of a turnip. It is so called due to its historical usage among Native American tribes as a food source and in traditional medicine.
