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
