Thanks to all!

The edible taro list is really interesting!
So today with my list i went to unother etnic market just to find out that they sell " gabi" that obviuosly wasn't in the long list above, ahahh, really frustating!! there's no way people stop to give thousands name at the same thing!! anyway it was colocasia esculenta too!
My question is, colocasia esculenta has really a lot of different varietes , really different one from unother, there is a particolar variety that is usually sold as edible taro or u can't find a lot of different colocasia esculenta varietes? ( black magi, hawayan, mojito, mammuth, etc)
If it is so,it's possible From the shape of the tuber understand wich kind of colocasia esculenta is it?

re-re-thanks!
