Today I'd like to introduce a new ingredient taro that hasn't appeared in our menu. Taro, like potato, is also a kind of tuber food with high starch content. Unlike potatoes, taro starch particles are very small. After entering the digestive tract, they are very easy to be broken down into glucose molecules and absorbed into the blood. So taro is a good food for weak and malnourished children. Cooked taro is fragrant, waxy, sweet and smooth. Sister meow and brother meow love it very much. But eating taro is not balanced in nutrition. So I changed a common pot in Cantonese food a little, and made it into a delicious food that children can enjoy at ease. In addition, pumpkin and taro are rich in dietary fiber which can not be digested and absorbed by the intestine. They can increase the amount of defecation, thus stimulating the intestine to facilitate defecation.
