Everything about Ullucus Tuberosus totally explained
Ulluco (
Ullucus tuberosus) is a plant grown primarily as a
root vegetable, secondarily as a
leaf vegetable.
The ulluco is one of the most widely grown and economically important root crops in the
Andean region of
South America, second only to the potato. It is known there with the common name of
papa lisa, but also by the regional names
melloco (
Ecuador),
olluco (
Peru,
chugua (
Colombia) or
ruba (
Venezuela). The
leaf and the
tuberous root are edible, similar to
spinach and the
potato, respectively. They are known to contain high levels of
protein,
calcium, and
carotene. The major appeal of the ulluco is its crisp texture which, like the
jicama, remains even when cooked.
Because of its high water content, the ulloco isn't suitable for frying or baking but it can be cooked in many other ways like the potato. In the pickled form, it's added to hot sauces. It is a basic ingredient together with the
cubio in the typical Colombian dish
cocido boyacense.
