Taro
Taro is a starchy root vegetable used across Pacific, Southeast Asian and African cuisines, often boiled, mashed, or fried and known for its slightly sweet, nutty flavor. It is commonly used where potatoes or other tubers would be used and features in both savory stews and sweet preparations. Nutrition-wise, Taro is a carbohydrate-rich food and provides a notable amount of fiber (4.1g per 100g), while being low in fat. It also supplies modest amounts of vitamin B6 and trace minerals such as manganese and copper. Because of its fiber content and slow-digesting starches, Taro is filling and a good choice when you want a satisfying, low-fat starchy side that also contributes beneficial micronutrients.
