Colocasia esculenta is commonly known as Taro Root, Dasheen Coco, Isleñ a.
It is believed to be one of the earliest cultivated plants.

The taro root, also known as " dasheen" , is cultivated in many areas of the world including Central America, South America and the Caribbean and Polynesian islands. A staple among many of the people who reside in these geographic regions, taro root is a vegetable that can easily be used as a healthy alternative to potatoes and other tubers. They do, however, have somewhat of a nut-like flavor when cooked.
