Notes
Colcasia can be seen as an ugly looking tuber that excudes a sticky sap when cut.
However, when cooked right, it is a delicious and different dish.

IN ENGLISH
it is called taro root
Taro also works
We tried buying taro from the supermarket and making Colcassia with it.
It works well, and is almost identical in taste.
Thanks for the tip.

They belong to the same genus Colocasia, or even the same species, Colocasia esculenta, but different cultivars.
However, taro looks different. It is elongated, lighter in color and has a tapered end. The rhizome's rings where roots sprout from are not visible.
The Colcasia of Egypt is always rounded, never has a tapered end, and always has clear rings with root buds showing from them.
Taro was introduced Egypt a few decades ago, and called Elephant ear. The leaves were used as fodder for cattle, but the root is not used.
