🔹Health Cabin Concentrate Image: Cleaned* "Eddo" Taro?
📑 "Taro is a starchy root vegetable that has a sweet, nutty flavor—a flavor and texture that seems a combination of chestnuts and potatoes... ■ Large taro roots can be fibrous, dry, and mealy when cooked but have a nutty
- sweetness ■ Small taro or eddo will taste bland but be moister than large taro."

Some of these HC reviews give me hope for their mango
Hi ThePatient23. I have hope for a lot of their concentrates. So far the majority of the ones I have SFT'd are solid. Other ones are a miss (ex. the Coconut Milk & Chocolate White), however I find that is true of many flavoring manufacturers. Some will be very good & some - not so good. Are you thinking of purchasing their mango flavored concnetrates?
I'm looking into it. On their website it looks like you HAVE to get at least a 120ml. Not sure if i want to commit to that quite yet.
I noticed that also, however I found another way. I searched online for vendors and noticed that DIYVS carried Health Cabin concentrates. They did not carry the ones I wanted to try for the mixes I had in mind. So I contacted the owner Jim Kiplia through email and made a request. I asked him if it was possible to order the:
- Yam, Egg Roll, Coconut, Taro, & Chocolate White.
He was very kind and ordered them into his store. Not only that, he ordered additional concentrates from Health Cabin as well. So if this is something your interested in, I would kindly request if it'd be possible to order the mango. He is responsive through email and through Facebook.
