I Made Maduarta (Pung)

The tuber is edible. Before local people knowing rice, Iwi tuber was eaten. But this tuber must cooked very carefully. Clean in a flowing water, dried enaough and cook correctly. The taste is fine. If it not cooked carefully this can make us sick.
Umbi akan bisa dimakan. Dulu sebelum mengenal padi orang Sumba memakan umbi Iwi. Namun umbi ini harus diolah dengan tepat, dicuci bersih dengan air mengalir, dikeringkan, baru dimasak. Rasanya legit. Jika Iwi dimasak dengan proses yang salah bisa memabukkan.
