It USED to be available as whole fresh tubers, but I have not seen them in ages. I hear that it tastes like Dracontium tubers, which taste like a doughy Colocasia! so, ju-bo, how do these chubas taste like? are they prepared fresh or just as a starch like konjac?<< Dear Tsuh Yang, As I mentioned (above), the 'chubas' are sold in cans as bits cooked in brine, and though I have not sampled them, am told that they taste like Dracontium, or like a 'tough' Colocasia!
