Mangalore Today News Network

A shopper in China made this unappetising find while on the hunt for groceries.

By an accident of nature, the yam has taken on the shape of an oversized human foot - complete with individual toes.

Bought in Quanzhou, Fujian Province, the strange specimen is of a type that can be eaten raw and acts a common ingredient in Chinese traditional medicine.

It is said to be good for the kidneys and is known to practitioners as the Shanyao root.
