Things You Shouldn't Find in Your Garden

Oca

Also known as the Oxalis Tuberosa or the New Zealand Yam, this is a popular alternative to the potato.

It originates from the central and southern Andes and became popular due to its easy cultivation, with a high tolerance for poor soil, high altitude and harsh climates. There are many variations of the Oca grown around the world, with an array of colours and flavours being created through human intervention during cultivation.

Romanesco

This is probably one of the most interesting looking vegetables, with its intricate spiral patterns made up of many buds, alternating in size. It originates from Italy and can also be called Romanesco Broccoli or Roman Cauliflower, as it is part of the same edible flower family as Broccoli, Cauliflower, Brussel Sprouts and Cabbage.

Kohlrabi

This vegetable is another new variation of the Cabbage family, with the name Kohlrabi translating to Turnip Cabbage.

Celeriac

Sometimes called stump-rooted celery, turnip-rooted celery or knob celery, this root vegetable is a variety of celery that is cultivated for its large edible spherical roots, leaves and stems.

Sunchoke

These are often referred to as Jerusalem Artichokes, even though they have no association with Jerusalem, or any relation to Artichokes. It is believed that the name derives from the Italian word for sunflower; Girasole, as the plant resembles a garden sunflower and belongs to the same plant group.

Manioc

Cassava and Yuca are the two most common names given for this root vegetable. It originates from South America, but is now widely grown across Africa and Asia due to its drought resistance.

Yard-long beans

Although the name indicates that these green beans will grow to a yard long, they will rarely grow to more than 75cm in length. They can also be called Asparagus Beans, Chinese Long Beans or Snake beans and the pods will grow in pairs.

Nopales

This is the paddle shaped leaves on the cactus plant known as Opuntia, which is native to Mexico, but is also grown in many parts of America and the Mediterranean.
