About Arrowhead, cooked, boiled, drained, with salt

Arrowhead (Sagittaria latifolia), also called wapato, duck potato, or katniss, is an aquatic plant of North American wetlands named for its distinctive arrow-shaped leaves. The edible part is the starchy underwater tuber, a small, potato-like corm that was a key food for many Indigenous peoples, who gathered the tubers from the mud of ponds and marshes. Mildly sweet and nutty, the tubers must be cooked, never eaten raw, since cooking removes their bitterness.

Once boiled, roasted, or baked, they taste much like a potato or chestnut and can be used the same ways, mashed, fried, or added to soups and stews. Arrowhead tubers supply complex carbohydrates for energy along with fiber and potassium. They were traditionally dried for winter storage. Cook the tubers thoroughly before eating, and keep fresh ones cool and slightly moist until you are ready to use them.
