Anybody growing this root that's native to Ethiopia? I was browsing expiremental farm network and picked up some seeds that are now germinating.

The young shoots and leaves can also be eaten, and are high in protein, though apparently not all communities bother with them as food for humans. The entire plant, including the root, is frequently fed to animals.
