While walking in the center of Cali and I  had never tried chontaduro, peach palms, so I decided to get a bag of 1,000 COP. I was told to add honey and salt because the taste is better and it was. The best way to describe the taste is it resembles sweet potato, but it is more fibrous and also much smaller. I have to admit I did not enjoy it as much, but still it was good and also it gave me a lot of energy afterwards. In Cali, chontaduro is known to be an aphrodisiac and is thought to give the man more stamina. Of course none of this is scientifically proven, but a lot of people from Colombia believe this to be true.
