kinyuwurru
bush onion; Cyperus bulbosus
Definition
Kinyuwurru grows on the side of creeks. It grows after the rainsand we wait until the plant dries off before we dog for the bulbs. They are like little onions excepts they're sweet, not hot. Sometimes we eat them raw but they are hard to peel then. We just eat the white part inside. Sometimes we cook them quickly for a couple minutes in hot ashes. Then it's easy to run off the skin.
