Colocasia esculenta (commonly known as taro) is a plant which was probably native to Malaysia. It is cultivated mainly as a root vegetable thanks to its edible corms. Its leaves, stem, and flowers are also consumed. The plant is however toxic in raw form and needs to be cooked to reduce the effects of the calcium oxalate within it.
