NUTRITIONAL BENEFITS

• Malanga Lila is one of the most digestible starches available, making it an excellent hypoallergenic option for those with sensitive digestive systems.

• It is naturally fat-free and cholesterol-free, providing a high-quality source of complex carbohydrates for sustained energy.

• It is a nutritional powerhouse, rich in potassium, magnesium, and Vitamin B6, which support heart health, muscle function, and metabolism.

Selection & Storage Advice

• Selection: Choose roots that feel firm and heavy for their size. The skin should be hairy but free of soft spots, mold, or deep cracks. When cut, the flesh should show its characteristic purple specks or “veins.”

• Storage: Store in a cool, dry, and dark place (like a pantry) with good air circulation. Do not refrigerate raw Malanga, as the cold can change its texture and flavor; only refrigerate once it has been cooked.
