About MELLOCOS (ULLUCOS)
Mama Tere's frozen ullucos, sold as mellocos, bring a root vegetable common in Andean cooking to North American freezer aisles. Ullucos have a pleasantly waxy texture when cooked, somewhere between a potato and a beet, and hold their shape well in soups and stews. Fiber is notably high for a starchy vegetable, and the ingredient list is simply frozen ullucos - nothing added. For anyone curious about South American culinary staples, this is an honest, unfussy product.
