Many Dutch people store tulip bulbs for their value as a renewal emergency food.

I had no idea that they were edible. I thank you for that information. I had already planned to plant some tulips this fall.

Best,

Tulip Mania

I heard a story years back about a man who stole a single bulb for food, and was executed for the theft.

Read what a single Viceroy-variety bulb would have been worth.
