    After peeling, taro is yellow in color, half whitish, and is edible. Taro generally turns yellow after peeling because it contains a chemical that, when the skin is removed, reacts with oxygen in the air, causing taro to change color. Although the taro does not look good, it does not affect its taste and food safety.

    If you want to keep the taro in its original color, you can soak the peeled taro in clean water, or add an appropriate amount of lemon juice or vinegar when stir-frying or boiling to prevent the taro from changing color.

    In addition, if the taro is moldy or spoiled after peeling, it cannot be eaten and needs to be thrown away.

Potatoes and taro are delicious when they are fried or thinly sliced and drizzled with sauce, or they can be sliced and boiled together with syrup for a dessert. The leaves of taro can also be boiled to resemble spinach and can be wrapped in other foods to bake.

    However, the calcium oxalate in the leaves is destroyed when cooked.

    Peeled taro, like peeled potatoes, is red or black because it contains a natural plant ingredient called tannic acid, which is oxidized with oxygen in the air to change color. Except for the color**, it does not produce toxic and harmful ingredients.

    Soaking in salt water can solve the problem of discoloration, but if you want to make sweets, it is not appropriate. In fact, it is enough to float directly with clean water to ensure that it is isolated from oxygen. Another method is to add a little baking soda (the main ingredient NaHCO3), which is a use of alkali that can neutralize the tannic acid and destroy it, thus avoiding blackening.

    The best way to preserve it is to peel it, cut it into pieces, fry it in oil, and then refrigerate it, which is more convenient to use next time to cook a dish. If you want to make sweets, you can steam the taro slices and then refrigerate, and when cooking, directly use a juicer to puree and then reheat.
