Chufa, also known as earth almond, is a perennial herbaceous plant of the sedge family. The plant height ranges from 30 to 70 cm, and the root system is well-developed and branched, where numerous oval or slightly elongated tubers up to 1 cm wide and up to 3 cm long are formed. One plant can bear from 200 to 400 such tubers.

To grow chufa, seeds are usually sown at the end of April–beginning of May, following a planting scheme of 30×50 cm. After germination, the plant begins to bear fruit approximately 70 days later. The yield is 0.5 to 1.0 kg per square meter under sunny lighting and open ground.

Chufa is valued as an annual food plant due to edible tubers that can be used in cooking. The maturity period is considered medium, and the tuber color is light brown. The manufacturer is listed as Gavrish, and the product belongs to the vegetables group.
