Taro, a starchy root vegetable, is typically purple on the outside and white or cream on the inside. However, the exact shade of purple can vary depending on the variety.
Here are some common taro varieties and their colours:
- Purple Taro: Deep purple skin and white flesh.
- White Taro: White skin and white flesh.
- Pink Taro: Pinkish-purple skin and white flesh.
- Black Taro: Dark purple skin and white flesh.
While the most common colours are purple and white, other varieties can have shades of pink, black, or even green. The colour of taro can also change depending on how it is cooked. For example, taro chips often have a darker, more intense purple colour than raw taro.
