Taro is probably the most hypoallergenic food in the world, so even people with severe allergies will do very well with this flour. The reason? Starch grains are the smallest and easiest to digest complex carbohydrates. Taro is closely related to taro root, which is used to make poi, a cooked paste common in Polynesian countries. Taro root and taro belong to the Arum family, Araceae.
