Organic Cocoyam
O tym Organic Cocoyam
Cocoyam otherwise called arrowroot or taro is a tropical plant. Even though most of it's parts are edible we deal specifically with tubers. The edible tuber has an excellent carbohydrate profile. It is easily digestible and has significant protein, essential mineral nutrients and dietary fibre. It is also widely used as soup thickener. Taro is healthier than potatoes due to its higher percentage of fiber, vitamin A, B vitamins and minerals. Taro provides more B6, folate, thiamin, B5, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, iron, copper and calcium than potatoes.
