Taro Leaves

Taro Leaves

EverydayFresh

Taro leaves are the large, heart-shaped leaves of the taro plant, a staple crop in many tropical and subtropical regions. These leaves are inedible raw due to the presence of calcium oxalate crystals, which cause irritation; thorough cooking is essential to neutralize these compounds. Once cooked, taro leaves offer a mild, spinach-like flavor and are a good source of vitamins A and C, as well as fiber.
