- You should choose taro that feels light in hand and has many indentations; the more indentations, the more delicious and tasty the taro will be.
- Do not choose heavy taro tubers, as they usually contain a lot of water inside, which will lead to bland and fibrous results when cooked.
- If you buy pre-processed taro, choose those with many purple streaks and a dark red color, as those tubers are delicious.
