Obviously this plant is aquatic, the leaves (heart shaped) float on the surface, and have yellow waxy looking flowers.
The seeds can be parched, winnowed, then ground up into a flour, or you can fry it like popcorn.
While the root stock can be eaten like a potato. Change the water after the first boil, then boil an additional 3 minutes to help tame the flavor.
Winnowed- to blow off the chaff from the grain.
parched- drying with heat (dry roasting)
