What goes with Taro?
Taro is a starch-rich corm containing very small starch granules, fibre and variable quantities of mucilage. These components give cooked taro its characteristic dense, creamy or slightly adhesive texture. Cultivar and maturity strongly influence moisture, starch concentration and final mealiness.

Pairing principles
What pairs well with Taro?
Taro’s restrained flavour and creamy starch benefit from aromatic, saline and acidic ingredients. Coconut supports its rounded texture; ginger, lime and chile provide definition; sesame and soy add toasted savouriness; pork and shellfish contribute enough intensity to prevent the corm from tasting flat.
