Bulbous with papery brown skin, the roots attached to the base are a hallmark of freshness, signaling that this tuber came straight from the ground with minimal handling. Beneath that rough, earthy exterior lies crisp, ivory-white flesh that snaps with an audible crunch and glistens with natural moisture. Delicious both raw and cooked.
