- Known As: Arbi; Arvi; Colocasia Esculenta; Taro Root
- Appearance: Arvi typically has a rough, brown outer skin that may be covered in small hairs or fibers. The shape of the root can vary, but it is generally oblong or oval-shaped. The flesh inside can range from white to light purple, depending on the variety.
- Texture: The texture of arvi is starchy and slightly slimy when raw. Once cooked, the flesh becomes soft, smooth, and creamy, making it ideal for mashing or pureeing.
- Flavor: Arvi has a mild, nutty flavor with earthy undertones. It absorbs the flavors of other ingredients well when cooked and seasoned, making it versatile for use in a variety of dishes.
- Nutritional Content: Arvi is rich in complex carbohydrates and dietary fiber, making it a good source of energy and promoting digestive health. It also contains vitamins and minerals such as vitamin E, vitamin B6, potassium, magnesium, and iron.
- Cooking Methods: Arvi can be cooked in a variety of ways, including boiling, steaming, frying, roasting, or baking. It is commonly used in soups, stews, curries, and stir-fries, as well as in mashed or pureed form. It can also be sliced and fried to make chips or used as a thickening agent in sauces and gravies.
- Preparation: Before cooking, arvi should be peeled to remove the tough outer skin, as well as any hairy or fibrous parts. It is important to handle arvi with care, as the raw sap can irritate the skin and cause itching or discomfort in some individuals. Once peeled, arvi can be sliced, diced, or left whole, depending on the recipe.
