Apios americana also known as Groundnut
A vine native to North America, the groundnut has edible beans and tubers. Tubers are crunchy and nutritious and have high quantities of starch and protein. Before the European settlement of this continent, native Americans got the majority of their crop from the wild. Documentation does show that some tribes did transplant these vines near their settlements to make harvesting easier. I have not tried to cultivate these but it appears that they would be a good companion plant with the ramps we talked about recently. Interested in starting a growth of these in the city? Let us know how it goes for you!
