In real world

Calla, aka Bog Arum, Marsh Calla, Wild Calla, and Water-arum, is a poisonous plant but its rhizome becomes safe to eat after drying, grinding, leaching and boiling. It has been used as pig fodder, and, during times of famine, as dietary supplement for humans. Even after treatment, its taste is very sharp and Carl von Linné wondered how people had managed to eat it.
