Category: Eddos

Sometimes called the “potato of the tropics”, eddos have a light crumbly texture with a slightly sweet flavor, somewhat like a potato. Like a potato, eddos can be roasted, fried or boiled. After cooking they can be sliced, grated or mashed. Eddos can replace the potato in many dishes.

The eddo is also known as taro (root), dasheen, eddo or kale. Use protective rubber gloves when handling eddos, you may be allergic to the skin. The eddo is toxic in its raw form so always cook it before eating.
