Arrowhead (Duck Potato) | Sagittaria latifolia

• Arrowheads (Sagittaria latifolia) are submerged water plants that have edible tubers. They seem to be pretty easy to grow if you have a pond or wetland area. 
• They are named after their leaves, which are triangular shaped, like an arrow.
• They are native to North American and were eaten by Native Americans.
• They can be challenging to harvest, but are easy to cook and wonderfully tasty, so are worth the effort.  Roasted, which turns them into a light and airy, but not greasy, french fry.
