'''Longroots''' are a type of plant native to [[Roshar]].{{book ref|sa1|37}}
 
==Description==
Longroots are, as their name suggests, a type of long tuber that contains a sticky sap.{{book ref|sa1|37}} They grow in cracks in the rock where stormwater collects and taste of minerals.{{book ref|sa1|37}} As a result, longroots are covered in dirt and [[crem]] from the [[highstorm]]s when they are harvested.{{book ref|sa1|37}} They are brown in color.{{book ref|sa1|37}}
 
==Culinary Use==
Longroots are cheap, and after they are peeled they can be stewed for eating.{{book ref|sa1|37}} When [[Kaladin]]'s family is struggling to get by due to [[Roshone]], they eat longroots which are often donated secretly by the townspeople of [[Hearthstone]]. [[Hesina]] and [[Kaladin]] talk about the [[spren]] of the longroot while they peel some.{{book ref|sa1|37}}
Longroots are easy to grow and are cultivated and eaten in many regions of Roshar.{{book ref|sa1|37}}{{book ref|sa1|72}} They are not known for their taste, which is faintly reminiscent of minerals.{{book ref|sa1|37}} Longroots are cheap, and are often eaten only when alternatives are not readily available.{{book ref|sa1|37}} Since they are tubers, they have a long shelf life; they can be boxed and put into storage{{book ref|sa1|72}} and can be transported by caravan.{{book ref|sa3|23}}
 
Longroots are technically edible when raw{{book ref|sa2.5|19}} but are usually cooked for a long time, commonly as an ingredient in stew.{{book ref|sa1|37}}{{book ref|sa2|41}} The roots are peeled and cut into chunks before stewing.{{book ref|sa1|37}} [[Lunamor]] experiments with longroot stew on multiple occasions, including a version with shelled finger crab meat.{{book ref|sa2|41}}{{book ref|sa1|37}}
[[Drehy]] throws some stewed longroot at [[Lopen]] after a joke about his readiness.{{book ref|sa2|41}}
