EDDOES

Eddoes are small root vegetables, a variety of Taro. They offer an


intensely flavourful alternative to standard potatoes, sweet potatoes
and yams and can be prepared and eaten in much the same way.

Once cooked they have a sweet, subtle, nutty flavour and are
delicious mashed with milk, butter and a little grated nutmeg. They
are also a great blend in soups and can be fried to make tasty fritters.
Eddoes are versatile vegetables and are also perfect for baking,
chipping or roasting

Eddoes may be stored successfully for 2 months if the correct post
