Taro is a long-stalked tropical plant grown primarily for its edible starchy corm and secondarily for its leaves, which are consumed as a vegetable. Taro, which is said to be native to Southern India and Southeast Asia, is considered one of the first cultivated plants. The corm has a water chestnut like taste. It is gluten-free, high in dietary fiber, has antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. Taro should never be eaten raw as it considered toxic due to its high oxalate content. These toxic substances are eliminated by cooking.
