Here in Thailand we used corms/tubers/rhyzome of various group of plants for
cooking.
Apart from aroids, we also use flour from Tacca leontopetaloides corms for
making dessert, tubers of Dioscorea hispida is sometimes used for
carbohydrate food instead of rice, and rhizome of many gingers are essential
seasoning ingredient for many thai-dish such as Zingiber officinale,
Boesenbergia rotunda, Alpinia galanga or even Kaempferia galanga.

Hi Les
Edible rhizomes: ginger (Zingiber officinale), galangal (Alpinia galanga,
A.

Edible corms: chinese water cestnut (Eleocharis dulcis) and arrow leaf
