Lorrege is delicious.
You can eat the roots, the stem, and the flowers.
The roots can be eaten raw. They taste like potato chips. Cooked, they taste like corn on the cob. The roots are bright red.
The stem is crunchy and tastes like vanilla and crackers. It is round and white with pale pink stripes. Cooked, it turns to mush and tastes like vanilla pudding with peaches.
The flowers taste like limes with a little spice; maybe ginger. Cooked, they taste like dirty socks with frog tongues and hot sauce.
Most people eat the flowers raw.
They are orange, yellow, red, and white—each petal is a different solid color.
Lorrege is not only delicious, it is beautiful.
