Characteristics of taro varieties
Taro, with the scientific name Colocasia esculenta, is a familiar tuber in Vietnamese cuisine. The common characteristic of taro is the rough brown crust, white or purple flesh, containing a lot of starch and mainly propagated by tubers.
In Vietnam, taro is commonly grown in many regions, with diverse varieties such as green taro, white taro, purple taro, waxy taro, lotus taro… Each type of taro has unique characteristics in shape, color and flavor, creating a richness for Vietnamese cuisine:
- White taro: White taro, also known as sweet taro, is classified with a white flesh, dark brown crust with characteristic purple horizontal veins. This type of taro is rich in fiber, vitamins and minerals, often used to process soups, stews or boiled dishes.
- Purple taro: Outstanding with its eye-catching purple flesh, purple taro is often used to cook soups, bone stews, soups, or make cakes and milk tea. Currently, this type of taro is mainly grown in highland areas such as Da Lat and Yen Bai.
- Yellow waxy taro: This is a type of taro with pale yellow flesh and dark brown crust, when cooked, it has a greasy, sticky taste like wax. Thanks to its delicious sticky properties, yellow waxy taro is often used to cook sweet soups, soups, curries or boiled and eaten directly.
Tips for choosing soft and sticky taro
To choose soft, sticky and delicious taro tubers, consumers need to pay attention to many factors from external appearance to weight and unique characteristics of the taro tuber:
- Observe the external shape: Newly dug taro often has soil clinging to the peel, showing the freshness of the product. In addition, when buying taro, you should also remove the villi on the surface to check more carefully, avoiding choosing tubers with stains, mold or signs of damage.
- Check the weight: Taro that is too heavy usually contains a lot of water, which will become mushy and not delicious when processed. Therefore, you should prioritize choosing tubers with a lighter weight, as they usually have a high starch content, bringing a richer and more delicious flavor.
- Check the eyes of the taro: Taro with many small holes (eyes) usually contains a lot of starch, giving it a characteristic delicious taste. Therefore, you need to choose tubers with few or no eyes, because they are usually bland and do not have a rich flavor.
