Re: Edible Taro Root
Malanga and eddoes are not varieties. Malanga isn't even taro. Taro is Colocasia and is Asian and Malanga is Xanthosoma and is south American. Some taro varieties are dry soil and others need wet. Go to an Asian market and buy taro and plant it. Go to a hispanic market and buy malanga and plant it. If you try hunting true varieties you get misnamed plants or replaced with ornamental. Just buy it direct from the market. My taro and malanga are thriving and produce tons every year. I bought them in the Save A Lot produce section.
