Taro is very common in this editor's hometown. Because my grandmother likes growing taro, every autumn when the leaves wither, she would take me and my younger sister, each with a hoe, to dig up taro. Once the taro we dug up was washed clean, Grandma would make all kinds of delicious dishes for us to eat. But my skin is rather sensitive, and it itches as soon as I touch taro. So how do I use the fastest way to remove taro skin without my hands itching? The details are as follows:

1. What is the fastest way to peel taro?

1. Washing the taro clean and peeling it directly is the fastest

If your hands do not itch much when you touch taro, you can wash the taro you bought at the market clean and hold a peeler to peel the skin off directly. This is the simplest and fastest method. This method is suitable for people who only buy one or two taro.

2. Put the taro in a bucket and peel it directly

Put the taro bought from the vegetable market into a bucket, then pour some water into the bucket, put on gloves, and rub them in different ways, and the skin can be removed very quickly. It requires you to have enough strength, the steps are relatively simple, and it will not hurt your hands. This method is suitable for use when you buy fewer than 10 taro.

3. Put the taro in boiling water and peel it

When you are preparing to cook taro dishes, boil a pot of water in advance, and while the water is heating you can wash the mud and sand off the taro. Once the water boils, put the washed taro into the boiling water to blanch briefly, take it out and cool it in cold water, and then you only need to score it with a small knife to peel it. Peeling this way is relatively easy. This method is suitable for peeling fewer than 5 taro.

2. Little tricks for peeling taro! This way your hands won't itch at all!

1. Steaming or boiling taro to peel it keeps your hands from itching

This is a good method my grandmother thought of for me because I am afraid of itching. Wash the taro clean, then put it in a pot, add some water, and steam it until cooked. Cooked taro will not cause itchy hands. You only need to gently peel the skin off the cooked taro with your hands. Some small taro will be cooked quite soft, so be careful not to peel off the flesh too. However, taro peeled this way can only be used to make soup. If you use it to make dishes, it is relatively hard for the flavor to penetrate, and the texture is not very good.

2. Rubbing taro to peel it keeps your hands from itching

The premise of peeling taro by rubbing is that the taro you bought is not very large and the quantity is not large, about two or three. Put them directly into a plastic bag, then put the bag on the floor and keep rubbing it with your hands. In less than 1 minute the skin comes off. It is very convenient. This also avoids direct contact with your hands so they will not itch, and it keeps the taro fresh.

3. Peeling taro under running water keeps your hands from itching

Peeling taro under running water is a relatively wasteful use of water resources, but to prevent itchy hands you should still choose to use it. When peeling, keep the faucet running the whole time, then hold a steel wool ball and rub the surface of the taro to peel it. This way the juice on the taro that causes itchy hands will be washed away with the water and will not remain on your hands, so it will not cause itching. However, people with severe allergies are not advised to use this method.

4. Wearing gloves to peel taro keeps your hands from itching

Wearing gloves to peel taro avoids direct contact with the taro, so your hands will not itch at all when peeling this way. As long as you wash the taro clean and put on gloves, you can finish peeling it. The process is smooth and simple. When cutting taro, to prevent itchy hands it is also best to wear gloves while cutting.
