Dahon ng Gabi in the food context refers to the leaves of the taro plant (Colocasia esculenta), commonly used in various cuisines around the world, particularly in Filipino cooking. Taro leaves are large, heart-shaped, and green, known for their ability to be cooked into a variety of dishes. They are often used in stews, curries, and as wrappers for steamed or baked dishes. Rich in vitamins and minerals, taro leaves must be cooked before consumption to eliminate oxalates, substances that can cause irritation and discomfort if ingested raw.
