What is Arvi (Taro Root)?

Arvi (or Taro root) is a starchy, edible tuber that has been a part of human diets for centuries. It is a root vegetable grown in tropical and subtropical regions around the world. While it is often found in Indian, Caribbean, and Pacific Island cuisines, it is also widely used in Chinese and Japanese dishes. The root has a slightly sticky texture when cooked, and a mild, nutty flavour that pairs well with spices and herbs.
