THERE ARE TWO KINDS OF "NASQUPAGUA". THERE IS A MALE AND A FEMALE KIND. THE MALE HAS A STEM STICKING OUT IN THE MIDDLE. AND THE FEMALE HAS NO STEM.

YOU CAN PICK "NASQUPAGUA" IN THE EARLY SUMMER FROM THE SHORES OF RIVERS, OCEAN AND PONDS. YOU CAN ONLY COOK "NASQUPAGUA" ALONE. YOU CAN EAT IT WITH SEAL OIL AND ALSO WITH FISH THAT YOU HAVE COOKED IN A SEPARATE POT. WE CAN ALSO EAT THEM RAW. THEY ARE DELICIOUS COOKED OR RAW.
