Dear Aroiders, I received this message from Anne in Western Australia. Please read below and see if you can help to answer her question about Alocasias. Thank you, everyone! Best wishes, Carla Carla V.

Hi Carla,
How are you? I am from Western Australia and I have recently found some Alocasia plants being sold in a nursery. I would like to know whether all Alocasia species are edible. In my home country, Mauritius, we eat Colocasia esculenta and taro.
How can I know whether the species in the store is edible?
Thank you very much for any reply. I tried to email Rod, but I could not send emails to him.
-- Anne
