Apparently it belongs to the same family as the morning glory,
which will explain the exhortations not to eat the seeds. Not
common even in the USA, from what I can see. Only available as
seed over here. 8-(((
Oops, sorry. I thought you were in the USA. I doubt they're readily
available in the UK and Europe. You could buy seed and grow them, I
guess. I have a perennial vine in front of my house that's in the
same family, but the tubers it makes are only about half an inch
long. Not sure if they're edible.
