About Cocoyam leaf

Cocoyam leaf is a leaf identified in the catalogue with cocoyam or taro. It is used cooked as a vegetable or as a wrapper, and the record specifies thorough cooking without identifying a species, variety, or particular preparation.

The leaf is a plant part used in food rather than a root or corm product. Its size, texture, and flavour depend on the plant and preparation; the description does not establish whether leaves are used whole, chopped, fresh, or preserved.
