The Dasheen arrowroot is known for its large tubers. The smaller Eddoe variety is better suited to grow away from riverbeds because it can tolerate less water.
The tubers' health benefits include regulation of the heartbeat and blood pressure, boosting immunity, aiding in digestion, and clearing excess cholesterol.
Planting
Arrowroots take five to six months to mature. They are commonly grown in areas that have plenty of water, mostly river beds and swamps.
Trenches are the best way to allow the plant to grow without competing for vital resources.
