The dasheen, also known as coco, is most often used in Jamaica and Caribbean soups. The nutty flavor of the dasheen is perfectly blended with coconut and fruit for a tasty pudding dessert. Dasheen is often called coco, even though coco is a slightly smaller relative of the dasheen. This ancient tuber is actually called taro and was known to have been part of the Roman diet in ancient times.
