You will find it in the markets in the form of tubers covered with brown and fibrous skin. Inside, its firm flesh becomes melting when cooked. It easily replaces potato or yam in daily meals.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2572\" data-end=\"2875\">In Central and West Africa, it is eaten boiled, pounded, or fried slices. It is used in dishes such as <em data-start=\"2710\" data-end=\"2716\">nkui<\/em>, <em data-start=\"2721\" data-end=\"2729\">foufou<\/em>, or thick leaf sauces. Its mild taste and richness in starch make it an ideal accompaniment to balance spicy dishes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2877\" data-end=\"3103\">Taro is appreciated not only for its taste, but also for its nutritional benefits. It is rich in fiber, potassium, and complex carbohydrates. It thus contributes to satiety and energy, without excess sugar.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"3105\" data-end=\"3380\">Its method of preparation requires a little attention. To avoid itching, you should peel it under water or wear gloves. It should then be rinsed several times before cooking. You can boil, steam or fry it as you wish.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"3382\" data-end=\"3645\">Packaged in bags of 100g, 200g, 500g or 1kg, fresh taro is perfect for family meals, traditional dishes or culinary discoveries. You can keep it cool for a few days, or pre-cook it and freeze it for later use.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fresh taro with white flesh, melting and nourishing.
