‘Who ever loved that loved not at first sight?’ This Chinese or Mountain Yam, dug from the wintry earth today, has been growing for two years in the Burnley Field Station. Delicate digging work from @psilothefunguy @claire.hocking and @sengtruong saw around 50 of these get harvested. We had some slices raw and a few tubers masterfully cooked by @sengtruong ! #mountainyam #chineseyam #dioscoreapolystachya #dioscorea #foodasmedicine #youcaneatitraw #novelcrops #panc #gazeoflove #youcompleteme #shakespeareknows
