I'd not heard that of Ibicella, but certainly Proboscidea parviflora was
formerly cultivated by the Hopi Indians as a foodstuff. I believe there
is a varietal name attached to the stock originating from cultivation, but
I can't remember exactly what it was - var. hokama-something or other I
half remember.
Perhaps you could dry roast D.stolonifera tubers and serve them as nibbles :-)

Happy growing,

Peter
