- Scientific name: Tammus communis
- Family: Discoreaceae
- Other names:
Only the shoots that appear in spring should be collected, which are recognizable because when they are detached a transparent slime comes out.
They are recognized by this slime and because they are soft and curved at the end, it is a climbing plant that is found clinging to other plants.
The rest of the plant is toxic.
The slugs should be boiled to remove the slight toxicity and then can be sautéed to season pasta or risotto or omelettes.
