Guest guest Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 Hi , Sorry but Taro seems to have starch in it. See article below. Mimi http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/cgi-bin/abstract/113322157/ABSTRACT?CRETRY=1 & \ SRETRY=0 Food Nutrient composition of taro (Colocasia esculenta) cultivars from the Papua New Guinea highlands Ron B. H. Wills 1, Jessie S. K. Lim 1, Greenfield 1, Tim Bayliss- 2 1School of Food Technology, University of New South Wales, PO Box 1, Kensington, NSW 2033, Australia 2Department of Geography, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, UK Abstract Taro samples were analysed for water, protein, fat, fructose, glucose, sucrose, maltose, starch, organic acids, dietary fibre, ash, sodium, potassium, iron, calcium, magnesium and zinc and the energy content was calculated. The composition of Yaguat taro was determined at various intervals during growth. The most marked changes were in immature corms with a decrease in water content and an increase in starch and energy content. There were minimal changes in composition of taro from slightly immature to over-mature stages. The composition of 36 samples of mature taro from 22 cultivars grown in four districts was determined. There was a large range in proximate composition between cultivars for most nutrients; for example, water ranged from 55.8 to 74.4 g 100 g-1, starch 20.0 to 35.1 g 100 g-1 protein 0.5 to 2.1 g 100 g-1, dietary fibre 1.4 to 5.4 g 100 g-1 and energy 403 to 672 kJ 100 g-1. However the same cultivar grown in two districts tended to have a similar composition. Mineral levels were variable between samples but the greatest variation was with zinc which varied widely between districts. > Hi listmates, does anyone know if Taro is a legal food on SCD.

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 , I know that Mimi answered your question for you. Thanks Mimi! If you have any doubt about a food and its legality, check out www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info and go to the legal/illegal list. Most things are listed there. If you can't find what you are looking for, then feel free to ask. This website is wonderful source of info for us.
