mum has them in her garden, and makes a snack out of the leaves....its a traditional Indian food, but not seen in the restaurants.....but the roots....unsure. https://rakskitchen.net/patra-recipe-paatra-recipe/. Recipe is just FYI........its a lot of hassle.

Hmmm it's a slightly different variety although these leaves are also edible once cooked.
The leaves on taro don't seperate where they join the stem. Those leaves look similar to what we call coco-yam here. Same family off plants though.
It's an interesting looking snack.
super delicious though....crispy goodness. nostr:nprofile1qywhwue69uhh2mtzwfjkctndv4exkmr99eehqctrv5argwp58qq3jamnwvaz7tmtdehhxarj9ehx2at5wf5kuefwvdhk6qpq72s9w82dk02d8s27q55wqhm0s4rt22l4af06al0gwq3hwxm9kn4qlkv4lv
