Las largoraíces son un tipo de planta autóctona de Roshar.[1]
Descripción
Las largorraíces, como su nombre indica, son unos tubérculos largos que tienen en su interior una savia pegajosa.[1] Crecen en las grietas de rocas donde se acumula agua.[1] Como resultado, las largorraíces están cubiertas de lodo y crem cuando se cosechan.[1] Son de color marrón.[1]
Uso culinario
Longroots are easy to grow and are cultivated and eaten in many regions of Roshar.[1][2] They are not known for their taste, which is faintly reminiscent of minerals.[1] Longroots are cheap, and are often eaten only when alternatives are not readily available.[1] Since they are tubers, they have a long shelf life; they can be boxed and put into storage[2] and can be transported by caravan.[3]
Longroots are technically edible when raw[4] but are usually cooked for a long time, commonly as an ingredient in stew.[1][5] The roots are peeled and cut into chunks before stewing.[1] Lunamor experiments with longroot stew on multiple occasions, including a version with shelled finger crab meat.[5][1]
Historia
Longroots have been seen as a foodstuff in a number of locations across the Rosharan continent, including the warcamps at the Shattered Plains,[5] Narak,[6] Yeddaw,[4] rural Alethkar,[1][3] and the Rockfall mansion in Kholinar.[7]
When Kaladin's family was struggling to get by due to Roshone's hostility, they ate longroots and other food donated secretly by the townspeople of Hearthstone.[1] Hesina and Kaladin peeled longroots while they discussed spren with Tien.[1]
