Malanga is usually known as Taro. It’s a root vegetable grown in the tropics because it loves warm climates. This vegetable has a ton of benefits for us. One cup of cooked Malanga contains multiple nutrients; magnesium, phosphorus, vitamins B and C, as well as potassium and protein. Moreover, you would use it as you would potatoes; mashed or in cubes and believe me, I would use Malanga instead of potatoes any time, since the flavor is amazing.
