Wendi gives the best facial expressions whenever she tastes something from her garden. I love her for that because I can look at her and tell if something really tastes good or not and her expressions are entertaining😊

THANK YOU for trying and videoing the tubers. I've been interested in them for a while now but this video has motivated me to go dig some up and try. I'm in Australia so these are weedy for sure

Please cover the medicinal aspects of this plant It isn’t just a food but has wonderful medicinal properties

We grew this in the ground once and it climbed up our patio and up to the roof in 1 season! We ate the leaves but not the tuber, the flowers were pretty and fragrant. Then we decided to remove it after that year because it grew out of control. That was 8 years ago... To this day, it still spring up every spring because we left some tubers behind. In Chinese, it is called田七 or三七. I think it is on a cooling side and should not be over consumed. According to many web literatures, pregnant women should refrain from their diet.

After the comparison to okra, I knew it wasn't for me, even before that with the whole slimey bitter thing.🤢 At least I know now it's not something I would waste garden space on. Thanks for sharing. ❤

The age old question whether you should spit or swallow. You made the right choice 😂

I love your videos and you are my idol! I had no idea you are also in Southern California!!!

Survival training taught me that a lot of vegetation is edible. But that doesn't mean it will taste good.

Very interesting! I am definitely not a "gelatin" "foamy" texture person... so will likely avoid those parts. The other aspect is that it seems to be a lot of work to get it to clean off well. Looking forward to the next video!

always love it when people say i don''t know how much of this you can eat raw safely but uh ill give it a shot hahaha

" Gelatinous" and "bitter" and "foaming in my mouth" when describing the raw tuber, made me think of saponins. I.e. it set off alarm-bells. So I briefly looked at the Wiki page, is it the rhizone or the bulbilis? The latter are described as hazardous. Anyway, I'd stick to eating the leaves cooked. Not sure what the bulbilis contain, but personally, I'll stay away from those hanging things and/or the underground taters. Leaves look good.

Excellent 🎉🎉🎉 I subscribed to your channel 🙏

This looks so delisish! I'm trying to control my starch/carbs but also luv the taters❤......btw you are using a camera stick, how do you like it????😊

Interesting to see but as you say it's invasive. Here in Australia, it's a noxious weed that destroys native vegetation by growing over it and blanketing out the light. Anyone in an area that only ever gets light frosts should probably check with their local authorities and maybe solarize any material that will end up offsite. Sorry for sounding negative, but better to know than not.

You're so adventurous with trying new things. Yep, slimy not for me. Good to know. Love your garden layout. : )

What zone does it grow in? Is it a perennial?

How to plant it and when or what season? Thank you so much

How old is this plant ready to start harvesting the root tubers? Thank you. God bless you

5:02 It's really foaming in my mouth because it's like gelatinous..... Should I spit or should I swallow? .....I'll be a good sport. Aaaaah (swallows then sticks tongue out).

Wendi's palette seems fickle

Whoa. Need a better view. Video is not good. You need a better view of the potatoes.
