Iroepi

From Elanthipedia

Iroepi is a crisp root vegetable, shaped like a turnip, and containing a very spicy sweet taste. It is very durable, and requires special treatment to make it softer and more edible, where it is used as a flavor enhancer to almost every dish. Because it is so sturdy, though, the root grows virtually everywhere in Velaka, making it a staple part of S'Kra meals.
