Recomendaciones de conservación

Commercial storage guidance for taro corms (Colocasia esculenta; HB66 also lists the names dasheen, eddoe, tannier, malanga, cocoyam). Storage life depends on initial quality, maturity, cultivar and handling; this is not a household shelf-life guarantee.

Store with good ventilation and display dry without misting; cold-stored roots must be eaten soon after removal to ambient temperature, and chilling causes pitting and more disease. Source: USDA Agriculture Handbook 66 (rev. 2016).
