Taro Leaves

Vegetables

Taro is a starchy root vegetable prized across Asia, Africa, and the Pacific Islands for its versatility and cultural importance. The corm is used in savory dishes, desserts, and even chips, while the leaves are cooked into soups and stews. Taro must be fully cooked to neutralize natural irritants. In Hawaiian culture, it is the base for poi, a traditional staple food.
