- Tato Farming: Planting and harvesting taros here on Niue is a lifestyle for most families. It is our staple food. Children help by working alongside their parents and learning at the same time. This is how the torch of knowledge is being passed on from generation to generation.
This is how children or young people are introduced and inducted into the learning and values of hard work, patience, teamwork, delayed gratification and also skills of working without supervision, after they have been taught under supervision of course.
These taro farming experiences will in no doubt help mould them into hard working and responsible individuals with fortitude. Skills gained and mental strength that can transform or translate well into other areas of their lives.
There are lots of taro varieties and each has their own unique characteristics such as taste, texture, longevity in the ground, growth factors, external environmental factors and so forth. There is so much to learn, understand and appreciate about taro farming.
It is an ongoing process which never ends unless you give it up altogether or leave the Island!

Greetings from Melanesia
Here in Philippines, I harvest my taros if they're 6 mos.i take out the young ones sprouting earlier, so that the mother taro will produce big taters, and those young ones I took out, I plant them in small nursery bags, then plant them when rooted.
Oh i see❤❤❤❤thats y❤❤so good❤❤❤
Beautiful harvest. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to Sunday lunch.
Great to see a father proud of teaching his son his history and showing the world his knowledge

Nice sharing farming information.
Awesome plants
Thanks you
I've just started growing Fijian taro. This was helpful. Thanks for the info.
Wow 😮 that's beautiful my brother 👏🏽 thank God, congratulations 👏🏽
I like the one's with the purple dot, in Jamaica we call it dasheen.
In Trinidad too !! Haha !
Here in Fiji it's called uro-ni-vonu, which means turtle's fat. It is known in some province as Moala, named after an Island here famous for planting that variety alone.❤
Visiting the island of Niue is on my bucket list.
Nice loose soil.Perfect for taro growing.Greetings from the Philippines.
Sending full support to your Channel, watching from Dubai, United Arab Emirates 🇦🇪

@M Seeker No. Mostly all Niue varieties with a few that has origins from Samoa. Don't know of any that are from Fiji. The popular Fijian pink taro is from the Niue taro.
Thank you for your inspirational taro harvest. I am encouranged to plant a taro crop, coming this December. Great crop. Our ancestral food crop.
Love this. Taro, our Pacific food. Thank you for sharing. Much Love form PNG.
Taro the main roots of the Pacific Islanders. It's nice to see the kids learning the basics and traditional ways of doing things that have been passed by from our ancestors. Greetings from the Republic of Palau🇵🇼💖
Doesn’t mean anything coming from you.
Keep up the good work
Very good size of taro
Nice song and the taro's look so nice
The tool is called a " Luchet", sold in our hardware stores.
We call Taro, "Dasheen" in our country.
Its origin is Tahiti.
It is planted in very wet waterlogged soil here.
Our leaves have a purplish colour in the middle of the "Y" on each leaf.
Cooked, one type is bluish, the other is white.
Young leaves are sold in bundles in our markets. Very popular and important food item in our diet.
Nice family video. Keep it up. All the best !

Hi. My family grew it here in Florida,we also called it Dasheen it was more round than what he was digging. I still grow it. Some of my family don't like it because we ate so much of it as young ones but to me it brings back good memories.
@@davebrunner1272 Yes. I understand. I am 67, and came from an agricultural background. In years gone by, meat was eaten only on Sundays, or less often. Garden produce was eaten according to the season, as there were no freezers or packaging facilities. So, when cassava, breadfruit, yams, dasheen were in season you ate lots of it !
I have a friend who says he will never eat breadfruit again. They had a tree in the front yard !!!
We have more of the rounded dasheen in my country. But I have seen some big ones. In nearby Venezuela there are long ones, maybe around 10 lbs.
Bundles of young dasheen leaves are a very important food item in our markets and supermarkets.

Thank u I came to say the same thing and am from Jamaica 🇯🇲 and we call I dasheen
@@vantablacklogicthoughts5186 We call the bundle of leaves, " dasheen bush". We make " Saheena" an Indian delicacy with the leaves, bhaji, and calalloo.

this, your particular video that i keep coming to... i own a taro patch here in 🇵🇼 and i just have not had the luck of harvesting a large one to be impressed with. So, looking at your harvest, i am in awe! wow! could be the good soil, or maybe a technique you have that seem to be working good. good job!
Big ups my brotha much love from your Tongan brothas in US Arizona yessssssah
In Trinidad we call that tool a Louchet. And the Taro plant we call Dasheen. We boil and fry it with various veg and non veg sides. The leaves we make bhagi and our national dish calaloo.
here in the Philippines we eat the stem of taro like this
I am growing it in Georgia US. Yes, mom always added dasheen in the bhagi. So sweet.
In Trinidad the dasheen grows big like this?
Bula Niue I like the DALO plantation very green and fresh thanks for the video

Hard work..well done.
Growing up in Manu'a having a kalo plantation is the sign of a real man and with kalo the size of your harvest is what every young man hoped for when time to harvest the kalo plantation. I was surprised to hear you name the kalo Manu'a because that is exactly what it was. But like another person commented, the best in our plantations was the kalo Niue, purple and tasty, the smell of it will never compare to any other taro. Malo lava...
Good...have you tried the yellow taro here in Fiji...taste good and smell nice!!!!
@@licelewanigatu1390 As a matter of fact I have, my ex-wife is kaiviti, I have been to all the Fiji markets in Suva, Lautoka, Sigatoka and Nadi. The varieties are plenty and the tastes was also amazing. But, the talo Niue is still the best to me because it's what we grew up growing the most. We have the yellow variety also, and it's mostly grown in swamp or what we call in Samoa, Kaufusi.
Thanks for sharing & great harvest of taro. Love the island of Niue 🇳🇺 Monu Tagaloa

Your new sub from Solomon Islands. Great content brother.
Vinaka from FIJI. Keep the clips coming on planting our island staple DALO it's called over here.Yet we say one of the best varieties here is called SAMOA..I guess Niue varieties isn't here yet.keep our Pacific food alive..Palusami for miles..please send clips on planting yams,tapioca,kamala,here we have kawai,banana,other root crops..we're rich in the Pacific!! We just started realizing.. took us a long time
Niue talo is already there - lots of shoots were sent over to the taro bank in Fiji ( supposed to keep incase something happens and we lose our Niue taro varieties).
Nek minit heard Fiji is growing the Niue taro and markets to NZ as Fiji pink ?
Fiji pink taro selling in Auckland is the Niue taro. So much for a taro bank initiative? Please check your side Nan Chu…
@@supersayinmangos5847 O my goodness. Thieving devils.Kai Viti my people or Kai idia ...disappointed but not surprised..SORRY..
We call it gabi. Our ancestors ate more of it than now. You guys have the big itchy kind that you have cook for a long time. We call it badiang and only eaten during famine or natural calamities
