Description
Discover the versatile and nutritious goodness of Karkalo—the edible leaves and stems of the taro plant, a beloved green vegetable across Nepali and various regional Indian cuisines!
Karkalo (or Kocchu in some regions) refers specifically to the large, vibrant green leaves and tender stalks of the taro plant. Known for their slightly earthy, spinach-like flavor and velvety texture when cooked, they are rich in vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber.
In traditional cooking, Karkalo is often used to prepare hearty, rustic dishes. Due to naturally occurring oxalic acid (which causes an itchy sensation if not treated), the leaves require careful cooking—often achieved by preparing them with tamarind or lemon juice (sour agents) to neutralize the slight irritation.
