Can you tell me about any lesser-known local fruits or vegetables in your area that you think more people should discover? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Check out Taro and Cassava. Taro is a root vegetable similar to arrowroot and has now replaced potatoes for me (except for mash), and I don't even know how to explain cassava, but both are absolutely delicious when boiled with coconut milk/cream.
