Taro Root
Colocasia esculenta.
Notes
Taro Root is a raw vegetable crop harvested from the Taro plant. It provides modest calories and 8 total nutrients (carbs 6, protein 1, vitamins 1) but no fat, making it an unbalanced food on its own — better saved for cooked recipes like Baked Taro or Taro Fries, or used in early Gathering and Agriculture Research Papers. Cultivate Taro Seeds to sustain a supply for both cooking and research needs.
