description: Eddoe or eddo is a tropical vegetable often considered identifiable as the species Colocasia antiquorum,closely related to taro (dasheen, Colocasia esculenta), which is primarily used for its thickened stems (corms).It has smaller corms than taro, and in most cultivars there is an acrid taste that requires careful cooking.The young leaves can also be cooked and eaten, but (unlike taro) they have a somewhat acrid taste.
