Questions about Arum
Why does peeling it make my hands itch?
Raw arum contains calcium oxalate crystals that irritate skin. Rubbing a little oil on your hands first, or wearing gloves, prevents this.
Can it be eaten raw?
No, arum must always be cooked thoroughly before eating.
What is it commonly cooked into?
Most popularly Arvi Gosht (arum with meat) or a dry-fried arvi fry as a side dish.
