Chufa. The edible subterranean tubers of Cyperus esculentus, Linn., (which see) much prized in the South. Fig. 959. Chufas are eaten raw or baked, or used for the making of coffee. The plant is sometimes cultivated in the North, but it will not withstand the winter. The tubers are oblong, ½ to ¾ inches long, cylindrical, hard. The plant is grass-like, and in the North does not flower. Tubers are planted in the spring, and the new crop is ready for digging in the fall. It thrives easily in loose and warm soils. The nutty flavor of the hard tubers is very agreeable.
