Eleocharis Dulcis

The Water chestnut (Eleocharis dulcis) commonly known as Pola Poli, is a grass-like sedge grown for its edible corms. It has tube-shaped, leafless green stems that grow to about 1.5 metres.
The small, rounded corms have a crispy white flesh and can be eaten raw, slightly boiled, grilled, pickled, or tinned.
