New Zealand Yam - Oca Cream Red
<P>
4 Quality Tubers
<P>
Tasty Flesh with Edible Leaves
Plant in May
Oca tends to have a slightly tangy lemon taste. The flesh is firm but juicy and crisp when eaten raw or lightly cooked, and becoming more starchy if fully cooked.

The tubers do not require peeling when eating Oca raw - just wash them clean, and they can be sliced to add a hint of a lemony zest to salads. peeling Alternatively cook them in the same way as potatoes - boiled, baked, grilled or fried. They also make an excellent addition to winter soups and stews.
