Le Colocasia esculenta<\/strong><\/em>, commun\u00e9ment appel\u00e9 taro<\/strong> ou oreille d\u2019\u00e9l\u00e9phant<\/strong>, est une plante vivace tropicale de la famille des Araceae<\/em>. Originaire d’Asie du Sud-Est et de l’Inde, c’est l’une des plantes cultiv\u00e9es les plus anciennes au monde. Elle est c\u00e9l\u00e8bre \u00e0 la fois pour ses qualit\u00e9s ornementales spectaculaires et pour son importance alimentaire majeure dans les r\u00e9gions tropicales.\u00a0<\/div>\n

\u00a0Description Morphologique<\/div>\n
    \n
  • Le feuillage :<\/strong> Sa caract\u00e9ristique principale r\u00e9side dans ses feuilles g\u00e9antes en forme de c\u0153ur<\/strong> ou de pointe de fl\u00e8che. Elles peuvent mesurer jusqu\u2019\u00e0 80 cm de long et sont port\u00e9es par de longs p\u00e9tioles robustes. Contrairement aux Alocasia<\/em> dont les feuilles pointent vers le haut, celles du Colocasia<\/em> penchent g\u00e9n\u00e9ralement vers le bas.<\/span>\u00a0<\/li>\n
  • Le corme (tubercule) :<\/strong> La plante se d\u00e9veloppe \u00e0 partir d’une tige souterraine \u00e9paissie (un corme) riche en amidon, qui sert d’organe de r\u00e9serve \u00e0 la plante.<\/span>\u00a0<\/li>\n
  • La floraison :<\/strong> Rare en int\u00e9rieur ou sous les climats temp\u00e9r\u00e9s, elle prend la forme d’une inflorescence typique des Arac\u00e9es : un spadice entour\u00e9 d’une spathe<\/strong> de couleur cr\u00e8me ou jaune p\u00e2le.<\/span>\u00a0<\/li>\n

    \u00a0Utilisation Alimentaire et Toxicit\u00e9<\/div>\n
      \n
    • Alimentation :<\/strong> Le taro est un l\u00e9gume-racine essentiel en Afrique, en Asie et en Polyn\u00e9sie. Son tubercule se consomme comme la pomme de terre ou la patate douce (en pur\u00e9e, frites, ou gratins). Ses jeunes feuilles se cuisinent \u00e9galement \u00e0 la mani\u00e8re des \u00e9pinards.<\/span>\u00a0<\/li>\n
    • \u00a0Toxicit\u00e9 stricte \u00e0 l’\u00e9tat cru :<\/strong> Toute la plante est toxique si elle est consomm\u00e9e crue<\/strong>. Elle contient une grande quantit\u00e9 de cristaux d\u2019oxalate de calcium, qui provoquent de graves br\u00fblures dans la bouche et la gorge. Une cuisson prolong\u00e9e est obligatoire<\/strong> pour rendre le taro parfaitement comestible et inoffensif. Sa s\u00e8ve peut aussi s’av\u00e9rer irritante pour la peau.<\/span>\u00a0<\/li>\n

      <\/ul>\n

      <\/div>\n
      Conditions de Culture<\/div>\n
        \n
      • Exposition :<\/strong> Lumineuse, \u00e0 la mi-ombre ou au soleil doux. Elle craint le soleil br\u00fblant de l’apr\u00e8s-midi qui peut griller ses feuilles.<\/span>\u00a0<\/li>\n
      • Sol et Humidit\u00e9 :<\/strong> C’est une plante gourmande qui exige un sol tr\u00e8s riche en mati\u00e8re organique<\/strong> (compost, fumier). Elle a un besoin permanent d’eau : le sol doit rester constamment humide. Elle s’\u00e9panouit id\u00e9alement au bord d’un bassin ou m\u00eame immerg\u00e9e dans quelques centim\u00e8tres d’eau en \u00e9t\u00e9.<\/span>\u00a0<\/li>\n
      • Rusticit\u00e9 :<\/strong> Le feuillage dispara\u00eet d\u00e8s les premi\u00e8res gel\u00e9es. La souche peut tol\u00e9rer des gel\u00e9es jusqu’\u00e0 environ -9\u00b0C sous un \u00e9pais paillage. .<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
