Japanese Taro (Satoimo)
(Colocasia esculenta)
Closely related to the tropical varieties of taro, this root vegetable
is usually grown in irrigated paddies.
It needs to be cooked to destroy calcium oxalate, which is toxic to
humans.
Taro is often referred to as Elephant Ear, a name also given to the
ornamentals Xanthosoma and Caladium to which it is related.
