Taro stems, a key ingredient in Korean spicy beef soup (yukgaejang), provide health benefits for those suffering from chronic colitis. Rich in pectin, taro stems create a protective layer in the colon, offering relief. Additionally, components like galactan and mucin help reduce inflammation. The preparation involves peeling, drying, or boiling the stems and using them in dishes like taro vegetable stir-fry. Taro is known for its support in digestion, prevention of constipation, and its high vitamin and potassium content helps in lowering blood pressure and alleviating fatigue. Handling raw taro stems requires gloves due to its potential skin irritation.
