Arbi

Arbi, also known as arum or taro root, is a starchy root vegetable widely enjoyed for its unique taste, creamy texture, and impressive health benefits. Rich in essential nutrients, arbi provides carbohydrates for energy along with vitamins C, E, and B6, and minerals like potassium, magnesium, iron, and manganese. Its high fiber content makes it excellent for digestion and gut health, while its antioxidant properties help protect the body from free radical damage.

Arbi is naturally gluten-free and is often used as a healthy alternative to potatoes. It supports weight management by keeping you full for longer and provides slow-releasing energy, making it beneficial for diabetics. Potassium in arbi helps regulate blood pressure and promotes heart health, while iron and copper support healthy blood circulation.

In traditional diets, arbi is valued for its cooling properties and ability to improve immunity. It also helps in maintaining skin health and boosting overall vitality.

Culinarily, arbi is extremely versatile — it can be boiled, fried, roasted, or added to curries and stews. With its mildly nutty flavor and soft texture when cooked, arbi adds richness and nutrition to a variety of dishes.
