Chongming Taro
Taro is produced in Chongming, Shanghai. It contains a relatively high amount of crude protein, starch, polysaccharides (mucilage), crude fiber, and sugar. Its protein content exceeds that of other high-protein plants such as soybeans. The flesh of the taro root is tender and fragrant, commonly used in banquet dishes, often cooked with fatty chicken to create "Braised Taro Chicken" or used as a base in cold appetizers. The polysaccharides in taro can enhance the body's immune system, increase resistance to disease, and long-term consumption can help detoxify and nourish the body.
