Oca – the taste test
In January one of our guest bloggers wrote about oca, a vegetable originally from South America that’s grown very much like potatoes. The knobbly tubers need a relatively long growing season before being harvested in the autumn, about 2 weeks after frost has killed the top growth. Exposing the harvested tubers to sunlight sweetens them.
