Canna edulis, also known as Achira, is a type of canna plant grown for its edible rootstock, which is a source of starch.

The leaves and young seeds are also edible. Historically, achira was a staple food crop in Peru and Ecuador. 

Uses:
Starch Production: The primary use of Canna edulis is for its starchy rhizomes, which are used to produce a high-quality starch.
Food Source: The rhizomes can be eaten after cooking, and the leaves and young seeds are also edible.
A source of flour: The starch extracted from the rhizomes can be used to make flour.
Livestock Feed: The plant can be used as fodder for livestock.
Ornamental: Canna edulis, along with other cannas, is also cultivated as an ornamental plant.
The plant has been used in traditional medicine.
