This is a plant most people who grew up in Western Norway will recognise. Martin Vahl, a student of Linnaeus, wrote in his 1760 travel report from Bergen about how children and pigs eagerly dig up the tubers of pignut and eat them. It was also used during World War I聽as a substitute for almonds, for example in baking.

The prevalence of variants of the Norwegian name, Jordn酶tt, across Europe indicates an older common origin. In Normandy, the plant is called by names like 鈥渏arnotte鈥�, or 鈥渏茅rnot鈥�, corresponding to 鈥測arnut鈥�, or 鈥渁rnut鈥� and in Northern England. Probably the name is borrowed words from Old Norwegian 箩补谤冒苍辞迟 that came with the Vikings from Western Norway.
