Chufa is mainly raised for critters BUT they are quite tasty!
"...try eating a chufa sometime. It tastes like a cross between an almond and coconut. The Aold folks@ used to grow an acre of chufas each fall to fatten their hogs on because they make tasty pork. They also made tasty snacks for the farm family during the winter. You can even make bread with them by grinding them into a fine flour and substituting it for half the flour in any bread recipe. Chufas are not just for turkeys anymore!"
