Yautia/Xanthasoma Sprouting

From: Riley2362 at aol.com on 2001.05.25 at 15:02:36(6565)
Dear List,
Every greengrocer in New York City has bins full of Yautia, and quite a
variety of other tubers - however, they are very heavily waxed and do not
sprout easily, if at all. Of course, the purpose of the coating is to
preserve them and keep them from sprouting - where are their priorities?
Does anyone know how to safely remove this coating to promote sprouting and
growing?
