Hello everyone,
Could it be the Tanier Spinach? Here is a link for reference:
http://www.tropilab.com/tanierspinach.html
I tried ordering once and, unlucky for me, the tuber/rhizome just
rotted after I planted it.
One time when I learned that an acquaintance once stay in Surinam, I
asked about it and was told that it tasted quite good.
