Colocasia is a rich source of carbohydrates, particularly in the form of complex starches, making it a good energy source. It contains dietary fiber, which aids in digestion and promotes satiety. Colocasia provides small amounts of vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin B6, and folate, which support various bodily functions such as immune response, skin health, and metabolism. The potassium content in colocasia is beneficial for maintaining proper heart and muscle function.
It's important to note that raw colocasia contains calcium oxalate crystals, which can cause irritation if consumed raw. Therefore, it should always be cooked thoroughly before eating. The root can be boiled, steamed, baked, or fried, and the leaves can be used in dishes like taro leaf curry.
