Taro is a familiar tuber to every Vietnamese citizen. When taro is mentioned, various dishes and beverages made from this root immediately come to mind. With its pale purple color and distinctive aroma, taro enhances the appeal of dishes and beverages, imparting a unique allure and providing numerous nutritional benefits to the body. Let’s explore together with PEROMA the advantages that taro brings in the following article.
TARO INTRODUCTION
Taro is a type of plant with both a main tuber and smaller offshoots. The main tuber typically weighs between 1.5 to over 2 kilograms, with fewer offshoots and a high starch content. In Vietnam, there are various taro varieties such as green taro, white taro, purple taro, violet taro, mint taro, waxy taro, lotus taro, fragrant taro, and hiding taro.
In the Northern region, taro is primarily cultivated in mountainous and midland provinces, with fewer plantations in low-lying plains due to susceptibility to rot in waterlogged conditions.
THE NUTRITIONAL VALUE OF TARO
Taro contains a wealth of nutrients such as organic compounds, minerals, and essential vitamins vital for health. It serves as a food source rich in fiber and carbohydrates, including vitamins like A, C, E, B6, folate, and minerals such as magnesium, iron, zinc, phosphorus, potassium, manganese, and copper. Additionally, taro provides the body with protein, although in insignificant amounts.
THE HEALTH BENEFITS OF TARO
Stimulates Digestion
One of the significant benefits of taro is its ability to stimulate digestive activity in the body. Taro contains approximately 27% of the daily recommended intake of fiber needed for proper digestion from a typical diet. Therefore, this food is highly beneficial in supporting a healthy digestive system.
Prevents Cancer
Taro plays a vital role in antioxidant activity within the body, contributing to the prevention of cancer. With high levels of vitamin A, vitamin C, and other phenolic antioxidants, taro strengthens the immune system and eliminates harmful free radicals from the body.
Beneficial for Blood Pressure and Heart Health
Taro root contains a significant amount of potassium, which is one of the essential minerals required for maintaining our health and daily functions. Potassium not only facilitates the movement of fluids between membranes and tissues in the body but also helps reduce tension and pressure on veins and arteries. By relaxing veins and blood vessels, potassium aids in lowering blood pressure and alleviating strain on the cardiovascular system.
