TARO FLOUR, ARTISINAL MADE VEGAN

Taro root flour mix is ideal for making sweet and creamy taro bubble tea, smoothies, and other drinks. The flavor of taro root is very unique and comes from a starchy root similar to the potato. Some people describe taro root powder mix as having a sweet and nutty vanilla taste.

Taro, (Colocasia esculenta), also called eddo or dasheen, herbaceous plant of the arum family (Araceae) and its edible rootlike corm. Taro is probably native to southeastern Asia, whence it spread to Pacific islands and became a staple crop.

The benefits of taro

When we think of taro, we think of frappés, ice creams, and yogurts with a sweet taste and a touch of acidity at the end. But taro is much more than just a favorite flavor of some! It is a root native to Asia that arrived not so long ago on our continent for its many health properties.

First things first: consuming taro is nourishing your body. Taro is high in vitamins like B12, E, and C, and minerals like potassium, copper, phosphorus, and magnesium. That's why no-sugar-added taro has no loss and is ideal for recipes like taro with tapioca.

One of the great benefits of this vegetable is its high fiber content. Fiber is an essential carbohydrate for digestion, even though our bodies cannot digest it! It feeds the "good" bacteria in our stomachs and helps us absorb other carbohydrates and prevent blood sugar spikes. Something like that happens with the type of starch that taro contains: our body cannot digest it. That makes taro a good carbohydrate option, especially for diabetics who need to keep their blood sugar under control, or for those who need to take special care of their cardiovascular health.

Taro satisfies us not only because of its taste but also because of how we digest it. Its fiber content helps our body take longer to process it, and that helps us to be satisfied for longer. And, as you can prepare many more drinks with this root –such as taro latte (taro with coconut milk)– it is ideal to take with you during long or complicated days in which your meal schedules can be out of kilter.

Eating is one of our basic needs, and we rarely think about everything that happens to digest what we eat. We are not going to go into detail, but we will say that digestive health is essential, and it is taken care of by eating! But not just eating anything, but trying to include foods high in fiber in the diet that helps keep our intestinal flora healthy. This protects us, for example, from inflammation in the digestive tract.

There are so many ways to consume taro: in chips, in desserts, in drinks, in tea, and even in savory recipes. Test it!
