Ces bulbilles sont comestibles, mais il convient cependant, avant de les consommer, de les râper ou de les couper [...] et de les soumettre à un lavage afin de débarrasser la chair des principes amers qu'elle contient; on obtient ainsi un aliment médiocre, donné plus volontiers en nourriture aux porcs. 2, record 1, French, - igname%20bulbif%C3%A8re
