Abstract
The Araceae family, also known as the Arum family, is a large and diverse group of flowering plants comprising over 4,000 species found in tropical and subtropical regions worldwide. Members of the Araceae are renowned for their distinctive inflorescence, which features a fleshy stalk called a spadix, typically encircled by a modified leaf bract known as a spathe. Many species in this family are rich in carbohydrates and dietary fibers. However, Araceae plants also contain calcium oxalate crystals, called raphides, which can irritate the skin and mucous membranes if ingested (Almaaty et al., 2022).
