A Caribbean Kitchen Staple
Fresh Dasheen root, also known as taro, coco, or eddos, is a starchy tropical tuber with a gently nutty flavor and smooth, creamy texture when fully cooked. It is widely used in Caribbean soups and stews as well as traditional dishes across Africa, Asia, and the Pacific.
Ways to Enjoy Dasheen
- Cube and add to soups, stews, and curries
- Boil and mash for a rich, savory side dish
- Slice for frying, roasting, or grilling
- Cook and mash for traditional taro preparations
Important Preparation
Do not eat Dasheen raw. Scrub, peel, and cook it thoroughly before serving. Some people find the raw peel or flesh irritating, so gloves can be helpful during preparation.
Available in 3 lb, 10 lb, and 35 lb options. Fresh roots naturally vary in size, shape, skin texture, and flesh color.
