ngajarrma
pencil yam, bush carrot; Vigna lanceolata
Definition
Ngajarrma are similar to bush potatoes. They grow along the side of creeks. We dig up the ground to get the yam out. When we see the yam, we get it and eat it raw. You can also eat it cooked - you cook it in hot coals and cover it with the hot earth.Recording(s)
