Suran, or Elephant yam, is the edible bulb or corm of a very unique looking single-stalked, flowering plant. After a year underground, the corm develops a unique flower with a central flowering stalk encircled by one large, maroon petal and topped with a similarly colored bulbous knob. The stalk can reach up to one meter in height. Once the flower dies, the corm produces one or two tall, green and white spotted stalks topped with several leafy branches. Suran are unearthed once the leaf stalk has died away. The root is round and compressed with a depression on top where the stalk was removed. When harvested, Suran can measure roughly 30 centimeters wide and 20 centimeters tall. A single Suran can weigh as much as 8 pounds, with some tubers weighing almost 30 pounds. Uncultivated Suran may have smaller cormlets attached and may have rootlets growing from its rough surface. The dark brown, almost black skin of the Elephant yam is bark-like but thin enough to be peeled. Its beige colored flesh has a texture like that of a sweet potato, crisp and firm. Suran has an earthy flavor that can also be nutty with a minimal amount of sweetness.Seasons/Availability
Suran, or Elephant yam, is available year-round in tropical climates, with a peak season in the late fall.Current Facts
Suran (pronounced sue-ran) is a large tuber also known as Elephant yam. Botanically, the plant is classified as Amorphophallus paeoniifolius and is unrelated to the common yam, which is classified as Dioscorea. It is known in England as the Elephant Foot yam for its somewhat elephantine hoof-like appearance. In China Suran is called Cho mo yu in Chinese and Pungapung in Tagalog. The Elephant yam’s unique flower earned it the nickname “stinky lily” or “death flower” because of the unusual smell the flower emits just after fully bloomed. Its appearance and its utility have made it a popular and commercially successful plant to grow throughout its native region. Suran is a popular ingredient in Sri Lanka and in India, where it is used in curries and koftas in the northern part of the country.Nutritional Value
Suran is a nutrient-dense tuber and good source of carbs. In Indonesia, Suran is the third most important source of carbohydrates after rice and corn. The tubers are rich in vitamin C, B-complex (thiamine, riboflavin and niacin), potassium and manganese. The corm also contains beta-carotene, as evidenced in its orange-hued flesh. Suran is a good source of dietary fiber and phytosterols, which are compounds that help lower bad or “LDL” cholesterol, making it heart healthy and easy to digest. Suran has a lower glycemic index than potatoes, which is ideal for diabetic diets.Shipping Notes

The product is okay…
Very soft and the pattern is pretty but the blanket is VERY THIN! It’s used (in my opinion) as a summer throw blanket. Was it worth the price? Not really the most I’d pay is $5 because of how thin it is.

Longtime Berkshire Buyers 🩶
Color: Stormy Weather, Size: King (90 in x 108 in)
We have been Berkshire buyers for years and they never disappoint with their quality. They always make the best bedding on the market at a reasonable price point. In the economy we currently live in, it's getting harder to find quality products that don't break the bank & Berkshire has been consistent for years!
This blanket is no different & has held up to their name and brand. This blanket is large, which I love. There's nothing more annoying than trying to cover your whole body with a 50x60 sized blanket lol. This blanket is most definitely aesthetically pleasing but also keeps us warm. It feels like this blanket traps our own body heat and keeps it contained instead of producing heat, making us hot. We always stay a nice, consistent temp without getting overheated and sweaty....nobody wants that lol. It's made from high-quality fabric that isn't only soft and comfy but it's woven tightly and has held up wonderfully for how much we use it! This blankey also washes really well ((i.e. zero shrinkage, dries in an adequate time, no color fading and/or bleeding)). I also appreciate that even though this blanket keeps us warm, it isn't heavy & pretty lightweight compared to some of our other non Berkshire blankets. The color is also a rich blueish, cool colored gray that accentuates all of our decor and other bedding.
Overall, Berkshire has always been a household name in ours. We love the quality, the consistency of knowing what we're getting when we purchase from their brand, and the prices are always crazy reasonable without sacrificing what you receive. Hands down another great item from their brand & we will always recommend ✔️

Soft, plush, lovely
Color: Blue Moment, Size: King (90 in x 108 in)
We got this blanket in king size to use in lieu of a comforter in the warmer months. It's incredibly soft and luxurious. It's thick enough to feel plush and heavy, but thin enough to be perfect for a cool summer night.
It feels like really excellent quality, too. This is not cheap thin fleece. I've only washed it once so far, but it seems like it'll hold up to many washes. It's big, though, at least in king size. It takes up pretty much our entire washing machine, so it needs to be washed by itself or with little else. To dry, I tossed it in the dryer for 40 minutes or so on medium heat and then hung it over a banister to finish drying, and this seemed to work well.
It's also a very pretty blue, like a dusky light blue, just lovely. Overall, I'm very happy with this blanket.
