A passage from Wild Edible Plants of California (Vol 1):
The small tuberous rhizomes are the main food item. They lie not far below the ground’s surface, which makes their procurement easy – often hands alone can be used. Once the stringy part of the rhizome is removed the tubers are fine consumed fresh (mild tasting and crunchy).
A passage from Wild Edible Plants of Colorado:
Tuber starwort is a common herbaceous perennial throughout the Middle and Southern Rockies. In Colorado look for it at middle mountain elevations: 7000’–9000’. The plant prefers drier exposures with dappled shade, often in association with conifers, Aspen, and/or Gambel oak.
