Can you tell me about any lesser-known local fruits or vegetables in your area that you think more people should discover?
I gotta give it to mulberries, don't get enough attention!
The buds of the flower Bauhinia variegata are both cooked amd used for pickles, spectacular stuff.

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.
Know em both bc of the podcast gastropod. Check it out if you're into food, great podcast.
Sounds like it's right up my alley. Thanks for the recommendation.
