I LOVE TARO.

Several people give me weird looks when I tell them how much I LOVE taro. If you don't know what it is, taro is a plant/root native to the wetlands of Malaysia. Although poisonous in its raw form, it provides many vitamins and minerals when cooked. The exterior of the root sports a brown, grainy texture while the inside is a pretty purple.

There are many ways to eat taro:
