What Are Tala Shoots? (Plant-related)

I recently came across the term "tala shoots" some sort of edible plant shoots(?) in Toho Sangetsusei Chapter 8 but upon searching, I found no match for "tala shoots" or anything related that is edible like that. Someone clarify if tala shoots are real or not?
 
Sesame perhaps?
In India, where sesame is cultivated since the Harappan period, there are two independent names for it: Sanskrit tila [तिल] appears alredy in the Rigveda and is the source of all names in North India, and some Southern Indian names also, e. g., Hindi, Urdu, Punjabi and Bengali til [तिल, تل, ਤਿਲ, তিল], Gujarati tal [તલ], Sinhala tala [තල] and Dhivehi thileyo [ތިލެޔޮ], but also Telugu tillu [తిలలు]. The origin of that word family is not known, but it often suspected to derive from a pre-Aryan Northern Indian language predating Sanskrit, perhaps related to the contemporary Munda languages. Yet there is a similar Akkadian term tallum meaning oil.

and if you scroll bellow it's used in Japanese Tempura...or so the article says.
Or maybe Tala nili ~

Probably, tala shoots = Aralia Sprout. (In japanese, "taranome" = "タラの芽".)

I also eat with "tempura" occasionally. Though it's slightly bitter, delicious. :291539:

Corrected. I don't understand the method of displaying the image, Spoiler: "Show" or "Hide"....

Code:
 is for programming codes
[HIDE=1] anything inside that will be shown if the user will click the like button on the lower right of your message
[hide-thanks] anyone who likes your post can see what you post within these tags
[SHOWTOGROUPS] pretty self-explanatory... anything inside this tag will be shown to a particular group...
example: mods
Then only mods can see it.
 
Post#3 was corrected again. I wanted to display the image like this. But I didn't notice there were "spoiler" tag and button on the "Your Message" field...

(Thanks, Sakimichi.)
