Nan'an Gao Ru Taro
Trademark Owner: Yingdu Township Rural Professional Technology Association, Nan'an City
Nan'an Gao Ru Taro, cultivated in Yingdu Town, Nan'an City, benefits from a subtropical monsoon climate that offers mild temperatures, ample sunlight, and abundant rainfall year-round. The Yingxi River runs through the basin, providing clean water rich in essential minerals like iron and zinc. The fertile, well-drained soil, with its deep, loose layers, further supports the growth of this high-quality taro variety. As a result, the taros are large, uniform in size, and feature a distinct inverted egg shape, with a round top and pointed bottom.

A traditional agricultural product of Yingdu Town, Nan'an Gao Ru Taro has been developed through natural selection and careful cultivation over many years. This taro is known for its high yield, superior quality, and dense texture. It holds its shape well even when cooked for long periods and contains a low level of insoluble dietary fiber. The taro is smooth and delicate on the palate, with a sweet, rich flavor that carries subtle hints of chestnut. Its aftertaste is sweet and lingering. Rich in nutrients such as branched-chain starch, sugars, proteins, phosphorus, calcium, and amino acids, Nan'an Gao Ru Taro offers a nourishing and satisfying eating experience.
