Plant tubers in moist, humus-rich soil in partial shade to full sun near a support for the twining stems; this native leguminous vine was a staple food for many Indigenous nations and early European settlers and was considered for commercial cultivation before potatoes became dominant. Harvest the small, walnut-shaped tubers strung along underground rhizomes in fall after frost kills the vines; they taste like a richer, nuttier potato and can be boiled, baked, or roasted. The fragrant reddish-purple flowers in midsummer fix atmospheric nitrogen. Tubers are small in the first year but grow larger each subsequent year — the plant becomes more productive the longer it is left undisturbed.

Tubers from the previous year planted in spring produce the largest harvest in fall.
