Earlier this spring I bought some bulbs of Colocasia esculenta at Costco. They are sold as a decorative garden plant, Elephant Ears-- they have a large leaf. Mine are growning nicely in a container. This is the plant known as inhames or taro root. I am planning to eat them. I don't recommend this to anyone else. If you grow them to eat, buy the roots from someone who is selling them as such. :) You don't want to eat something that was mistakenly identified...
