Damrongsak Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 (edited) My wife calls it "toon", though it might be the similar "bon". https://www.thaitable.com/thai/ingredient/koon Koon คูน, ออดิบ, ตูน a type of elephant ear plant In northern Thailand and Laos, koon is known as ‘toon’. In the south, however, it’s named ‘au dib’. Koon is also known as ‘bac ha’, a Vietnamese name, at Asian supermarkets. ------------------------------------- Koon is also related to 'bon', a similar edible plant that tastes great, but can cause itchy irritation when eaten.

thaiflyer1 Posted August 14, 2021 Author Share Posted August 14, 2021 From one of the above links................. At farmers markets, koon is often labeled ‘taro stem’. Koon, though related to taro, is not taro. Koon is also related to 'bon', a similar edible plant that tastes great, but can cause itchy irritation when eaten. Notice the word bon..............nearly the same sound as บอรน Thanks for all the help 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damrongsak Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 This is comforting: While some types of elephant ear plants are edible, and others are poisonous, you rarely find the poisonous ones for sale at markets". https://www.thaitable.com/thai/ingredient/koon 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
