“Evergreen Brand” Red Taro

“Evergreen Brand” Red Taro

　　Taro is the tuber of plants in the Araceae family, rich in reducing sugars, crude starch, calcium, phosphorus, iron, as well as various vitamins and amino acids. Among these, its iron content is particularly outstanding, reaching 261 milligrams per kilogram (based on fresh weight), and its crude protein content is 2.04%, higher than that of sweet potatoes, yams, and cassava. Jianchang Town has a long history of taro cultivation. According to historical records, as early as the Ming Dynasty, it was designated as a tribute product. Due to Jianchang’s unique soil and water conditions and traditional farming experience, the taro produced here—especially the Red Taro—is of premium quality. It features a red skin, white flesh, fragrant taste, and is pollution-free. When eaten directly, it boasts a fragrant and glutinous texture. The “Evergreen Brand” Red Taro is a green, health-promoting food that aligns with today’s trends of returning to nature and improving dietary structure. Currently, the annual production reaches 2,000 tons, and can be expanded according to market demand. (Changzhou)
