About

Oca is a nutrient-rich root vegetable native to the Andes, prized for its versatility and unique flavors. It comes in a variety of bright colors, including yellow, pink, and red, and is primarily grown for its edible tubers, though its leaves, shoots, and stems can also be consumed. It varies in flavor and texture across cultivars, ranging from tangy and crunchy to sweet and starchy when cooked.
