Cloud Root

​

These hardy plants are found throughout most of Kladeon, with the exception of desert and overly humid environments. They can withstand cold winters and hot summers, making them an important food for many parts of the continent. In the wild, they often are found growing in fields and forests, their round leaves and puffy, light-blue flowers setting them apart. It's these flowers and the light, cloud-like center of the root that gives these plants their name. All parts of the plants are edible, even the flowers, and that combined with the hardiness makes them a valuable produce.

Can I grow them?
Yes, you can! They're fairly easy to grow and care for, but the large root means that they need plenty of room to grow. But it isn't difficult at all for beginners to grow them.

Can I eat them?
Absolutely! The root itself is the main thing eaten from these plants. Its taste is closest equated to that of potato and can be eaten in a variety of ways, whether that be boiled, mashed, roasted, or even eaten raw if you feel like it. It's crunchy and hard when raw, but softens when cooking. The leaves are also edible, having a lightly sweet flavor. They're often brewed into a tea which helps with sleep. If you wanted to, you could eat the flowers, but they aren't very delicious.
