Eddoes are root vegetables that belong to the taro family. They have a brown, hairy outer skin and a starchy white flesh inside. Eddoes are commonly used in Caribbean and African cuisines, where they are boiled, roasted, or fried to be enjoyed as a side dish or incorporated into stews and soups. They have a slightly nutty flavor and a creamy texture when cooked. Eddoes are a good source of carbohydrates, fiber, and various vitamins and minerals, making them a nutritious addition to a balanced diet.
