Purple taro (Yautia lila)

$2.99 / libra

Category: Tubers

Purple taro comes in varied sizes, with a firm, pale purple flesh once peeled that sets it apart from other taro roots. It's a great substitute for potatoes in habichuelas, mashes, and pastelón, bringing a creamy texture and mild, earthy flavor that pairs well with sofrito and stewed meats. You can also boil it for a puree or fry it in chunks like tostones. Each package weighs approximately 2 lbs. Store it in a cool, dry place, unrefrigerated, and peel it right before cooking to keep it from browning.
