Usages
Arisaema curvatum Kunth. Himalayas. The Lepchas of India prepare a food called tong from the tuberous root. The roots are buried in masses until acetous fermentation sets in and are then dug, washed and cooked, by which means their poisonous properties are in part dispersed, but not entirely, as violent illness sometimes follows a hearty meal of tong [1].
Arisaema tortuosum Schott. Himalayas. The root is considered esculent by the mountaineers of Nepal [2].
