They are considered to be invasive plants in the USA. They don't seem to be bothered by icy winters.

They don't smell here, probably cleaned thoroughly because people would be more repulsed here. SM, how interesting.

The one thing I haven't seen mentioned here is their smell. The ones I handled in the grocery store had a swampy smell (perhaps even a wiff of cow or horse dung). They taste good though.

That's why they're called water caltrops. With a little glue and ingenuity you can leave these on the ground for your enemies to step on and have the same reaction that legos produce when stepped on: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BsOwkKoJWZQ FYI, a real life ninja on youtube (SN: Choson Ninja) did a tutorial that actually shows how to use these to make traps because they’re so hard.
