FAQ
We recommend cubing and parboiling the corm for 10-15 minutes or until tender, and then using it just like a potato: Roast the parcooked cubes for crispy taro chunks, mash them to make a kind of dough for poi or baking, or toss them in stews or stir fries to add a perfect chewy texture.
FYI, taro pairs best with coconut. When taro is added into plain things, like yogurt, it adds flavors. When it's added into sweet things, like mooncake and pudding (chè), it moderates the sugar and adds texture.
The raw corm of a Taro plant, and also the leaves, is toxic unless boiled to remove the calcium oxalate within the corm. It can also be removed by steeping the roots in cold water overnight. One can eat Taro with milk or other calcium rich foods as a way of avoiding some of the risks of the oxalate ion.
A one-cup serving has a third of your daily recommended intake of manganese, which contributes to good metabolism, bone health, and blood clotting. Its high levels of vitamins can also promote healthy vision, skin, circulation, and immune system function. Taro root has more than twice as much fiber as potatoes.
Another one of the top taro root disadvantages is its content of calcium oxalate, a naturally occurring compound that can build up in the body, triggering gout and contributing to kidney stones. Because of its oxalate content, eating raw taro can also irritate your throat and cause your mouth to feel numb.
