Vietnamese Taro (Khoai Sọ) is a heritage root vegetable celebrated worldwide for its incredibly creamy texture, subtle nutty flavor, and high digestibility. Grown in the fertile alluvial fields of Northern and Central Vietnam, our Taro is prized for its high starch and protein content, making it a valuable commodity for the fresh, frozen, and processed food markets.
1. QUALITY CHARACTERISTICS AND CULINARY ADVANTAGE
Vietnamese Taro possesses unique characteristics that make it highly sought after:
-
Superior Creaminess (The “Boulder” Texture): Unlike some starchy roots, Vietnamese Taro maintains a distinct creamy and slightly dense texture (boulder/bùi) when cooked, making it an excellent thickener and base for desserts and savory stews.
-
Mild, Nutty Flavor: The flavor is subtle, allowing it to easily absorb the tastes of other ingredients, making it exceptionally versatile in both sweet and savory applications.
-
High Dry Matter Content: Our Taro is carefully cultivated to ensure high dry matter, resulting in a firm texture before cooking and minimal water absorption, which is key for quality frozen and chip products.
-
Digestibility: Taro contains easily digestible starches and is often recommended for sensitive diets, adding to its health appeal.
