I'll remove this section because the source given in this section, Hossain RZ, Ogawa Y, Morozumi M, Hokama S, Sugaya K (May 2003). "Milk and calcium prevent gastrointestinal absorption and urinary excretion of oxalate in rats". Frontiers in Bioscience. 8: a117–125. doi: 10.2741/1083. PMID 12700095., does not mention anything about taro. Presumably the writer of this section doesn't have a good knowledge about taro.
Taro it self is very rich in calcium and contains calcium oxalate rather than oxalic acid. To reduce the consumption of oxalic acid, blanching the spinach and disposing the water would help, but steeping cubed taro roots in cold water doesn't quite make sense because calcium oxalate is insoluble. Likewise, it makes sense to consume spinach with milk, but not taro with milk. -- 173.68.165.114 ( talk) 05:22, 5 November 2018 (UTC)

Most of the plant/tree pages I've been reading have the information on where the plant/tree is native and its distribution, including if it's recognised as an invasive species, in the introductory paragraph.
May I suggest for consistency that the relevant information from the "Distribution and Habitat" section be moved to the introductory paragraph.
Since taro has been a staple food for many countries for many years/centuries, does this mean it's a "bushfood?" If so, may I suggest adding "Bushfood" at the bottom of this page with a link to the "Bushfood" page, then add it to the list in the "Bushfood" page.
Is taro a "Bush Tucker" food in Australia? I note it says, "In Australia, Colocasia esculenta var. aquatilis is thought to be native to the Kimberley region of Western Australia..." If so, may I suggest adding a note under "See also" section that this is a "Bush Tucker" food, with a link to the "Bush Tucker" page. Then add it to the list on the "Bush Tucker" page.
