Because its meat is similar to potatoes, but the taste is neither sweet potato, taro, nor potato. It is like chestnut, sweet and aromatic, and the taste lingers on after eating, so it is named as fragrant taro. Fragrant taro contains more crude protein, starch, polysaccharides (mucilage), crude fiber and sugar. The content of protein is higher than other high-protein plants such as soybeans. The fleshy roots of fragrant taro are delicate in texture and fragrant in flavor, which are often served at banquets.
