Taro / Arbi (Colocasia) FROM INDIA
Taro Root (known as Arbi or Colocasia in India) is a dense, highly starchy root vegetable with a brown, slightly hairy outer skin and white-to-purple-flecked internal flesh. Essential to many Asian, African, and Pacific Island cuisines, our export Taro is cured and carefully cleaned of excessive hair/soil, resulting in a firm, long-lasting shelf product with exceptional nutty flavor when cooked.
