How to choose taro?

1. Look at the appearance

Peel off the taro's skin and observe carefully to see if it is moldy, dry, hard, or has spots. The taro should also be even in shape and without any damage. These are the necessary conditions for high-quality taro.

2. Freshness

Fresh taro often has a smell of earth and feels hard when pinched. If it is soft, it means it is not fresh.

3. Weigh it with your hands

If you weigh two taro of the same size in your hand, the lighter one has a higher starch content and less water. Such taro will taste doughy. If it is heavier, the taste will be worse.

4. Check trachoma

If there are many sunken sand holes or small pits with soil near the root of the taro, it proves that the taro tastes floury enough; if the surface looks smooth, it will not taste good.

5. Look at the roots

Use a knife to make a small cut at the root of the taro. If a sticky white liquid flows out and quickly dries up and becomes powdery, it indicates that the taro is of high quality.
