Cooking with water hyacinth.\
\
\"The beautiful purple flowers also offer an aesthetic value to any watery area.Surprisingly enough, you can eat it! We've fried the small bulbs in pork fat. They don't taste like much, but they're a free snack. The flowers can be mixed into stir fry and have no adverse effects. The young leaves can be eaten cooked and raw, however they may cause itching in some individuals. \"\
