Queensland Arrowroot PLANT – Heirloom & Untreated – QLD Arrowroot – Canna Edulis

Queensland Arrowroot – QLD Arrowroot – Canna Edulis is an evergreen beautiful and easy-to-grow perennial plant grown for its starchy rhizomes. It makes a perfect potato replacement, especially for all slow-cooked dishes! The taste is similar to potatoes if you cook the young rhizomes. Check my Facebook or Instagram page to see some dishes cooked with this fantastic vegetable. The older ones are getting very fibrous and are better for animals or for propagation. The rhizomes can also be grated, dehydrated, and ground to produce starchy flour. This plant grows very quickly during the warmer months. The leaves can be used for chop and drop to create an instant mulch in your garden, and animals love them, too. It grows up to 2m and will expand very quickly under the right conditions, and the best is that you only need to plant it once! Check our other listings to buy just the rhizome instead of the potted plant.

West Indian Arrowroot PLANT – Obedience Plant, Bermuda Arrowroot, Araru – Maranta arundinacea

West Indian Arrowroot – Maranta arundinacea is an evergreen easy-to-grow plant. It produces white rhizomes with a pleasant nutty flavour that can be eaten raw, baked, and in stir-fries. The younger tubers are less fibrous and therefore more enjoyable. West Indian Arrowroot is the true arrowroot variety which is commercially used for arrowroot flour production. I have it growing in a few places in the food forest and harvest as required. It is not related to the QLD Arrowroot – Canna Edulis.

The price is for one young plant supplied in a small pot from the mother plant, naturally grown with lots of love in my permaculture food forest in Pacific Haven QLD Australia.
