Boiled in seawater and then thrown on a barbecue, taro root retains a nutty aroma that gets smoky from the grill. That said, I've never knowingly had the leaves. Need to seek some out now.Jonnyhttp://weareneverfull.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512083611874279630.post-47566263904964806952011-06-27T15:17:18.985-07:002011-06-27T15:17:18.985-07:00I think that a lot of people that are eating Taro,...I think that a lot of people that are eating Taro, are actually eating the related New World Xanthosoma spp. Not that it matters very much, but the two independent domestication events is interesting.<br /><br />I guess what happened in Europe was grain. Better storage, wider range of products that can be made etc. I think that there are also toxicity issues also?Adam Balicnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512083611874279630.post-34704176777266246572011-06-27T12:34:29.433-07:002011-06-27T12:34:29.433-07:00Also, Johanna, I tried but couldn't comment on...Also, Johanna, I tried but couldn't comment on your blog, which is really nice.

It has a slightly slimy mucilagenous texture too, so I'm thinking a taro gumbo would be just divine. Well I guess it is already in eddoes, eaten in the Caribbean.Ken Albalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16379852662105383295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512083611874279630.post-83611420660067316292011-06-27T08:35:04.392-07:002011-06-27T08:35:04.392-07:00Sounds really good (I'm a big spinach fan).

It's funny to think about which foods have gained popularity in the US and which ones haven't.<br />I bet taro would taste delicious in ghormeh sabzi (an Iranian herb and bean stew). <br />Throw it into a pot with some partially cooked kidney beans, onion, garlic, a dried lime, mint, dill, turmeric, coriander, basil, oregano, fenugreek seed, salt and pepper, and a little water. Some chunks of beef or lamb if you're in the mood for it. Cook it down until it's cohesive and fairly mushy, then stir in some lemon juice and serve over rice.<br />SO good.Johannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11032676222075728993noreply@blogger.com
