Taro, Dalo, Kalo , or Godere (Colocasia esculenta )

Product Description

Colocasia esculenta, commonly called taro, dalo, kalo , or godere.  It is the most widely cultivated species of several plants in the family Araceae that are used as vegetables for their corms, leaves, and petioles. Taro corms are a food staple in African, Oceanic, and South Asian cultures (similar to yams), and taro is believed to have been one of the earliest cultivated plants.

Taro root is a starchy root vegetable with a mildly sweet taste.

Benefits

It’s a great source of various nutrients that many people don’t get enough of, including fiber, potassium, magnesium and vitamins C and E.

Taro is also an excellent source of fiber and resistant starch, which account for many of its health benefits, such as improved heart health, blood sugar levels, body weight and gut health.

Taro also contains a variety of antioxidants and polyphenols that protect against free radical damage and potentially cancer.

Always cook the root before eating it to neutralize compounds that can cause unpleasant stinging sensations in the mouth.

When cooked, taro is a nutritious addition to both sweet and savoury meals.
