In samoa we have real taro.when i grew up,me and my parents and brothers do lots of plantation. Lots of weedings. 5 to 6 months than we harvest.thank you fr this video.now live in nz but still miss samoa.this brings back memories. 👍
Same plant different names amazing! Here in nepal we call it gava or karkalo this can be eaten in several ways, cook leaves putting spices by whistling in pressure cooker as a paste eat with rice, stem can be turned into pickle, or dried by chopping in small pieces and mix it into soaked skinless black lentil paste turning it to small balls and sun dry for a week and enjoy with potatoes as a curry in winter.... great food to combat winter... eat everyone it is very benefical 🙂
I am so grateful for you selling taro so cheap to our people. You will be blessed thinking of us. Mahalo for the blessings and more power to you bring back our big bowl of poi to our table. I live in Oklahoma and have my ohana send me poi every month and not only do i have to send them money to buy the poi but also ship the poi but to me its all worth it.
in the caribbean, we have three things like that. eddoes, dasheen and tania. the eddoes is alike a small plum size version of the dasheen. the dasheen is large, like a small coconut. they have different textures, where the eddoes is more slimy compared to the dasheen, and the dasheen is kinda more tough, like sweet potato. i cant remember if ive ever eaten the tania, but its supposed to be sorta bitter and scratchy.
Taro is one of the oldest cultivated crops in the world. To hear that it has become a luxury crop in Hawaii is sad. I thought it was an everyday thing. It's a rarity in Aotearoa now. I'm trying to bring it back in my area. One day I hope to see plantations like this in Aotearoa. Thank you for sharing.
🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭wow... amazing i love to eat that Taro-local name gutaw or gabi. We have allot of this taro in our backyard. Very nice and tasty we cooked that together with coconutmilk and seashells. 🐚🐚🐚 i really miss my country land 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
haloha from Australia..👋 we call it taro here , I've been planting it too shallow and it has the symptoms you describe,insect damage and sandy porous corms...so I will try planting deeper 👌
Wow a big taro its delicious one we called it "gabe"in the Philippines were cooking that with a cuconut milk,together with the stem and the leaves of that.
in my country, native province, we call it gabi ( simply boil in water- used in all recipes)...... the curled leaves, stalks, climbing roost are best with coconut milk & lemon grass
@@EmilyWYoruw He treats it as an annual, you wait for the first frost to kill the leaves then uproot it and put it in a paper bag in a cupboard then replant when there is no chance of frost. It doesnt seem worth the effort to me
Wow, this video really hit home for me. I moved to Florida and looking to grow some kalo in my yard but need some instruction. Now I just need to get some of the right one to plant. :). Mahalo!
I am from Guyana in South American which is also a member of CARICOM if it's the same thing here that we used it is called eddoe we used it in a number of dishes we also cook the stock and leaves in coconut milk and put in many other dishes
To us, 6 months old taro is still young. The stems are still many and healthy meaning not ready to harvest. We harvest at 9 months. At this time, the taro will have about 4 to 3 leaves left. FYI to those who want to learn about different taro planting and harvesting methods. Nonetheless, that is yummy! God bless you.🙏
The leaf stems (petioles) are delicious when cooked in hot chili tamarind soup. That is how we eat taro stem in Malaysia, In fact the stem is the most popular taro part eaten in Malaysia. What a pity to see taro stems go to waste here in this video! Haha!
This is awesome to see ❤ you could also collect all the leaves and sell em off to the asians in Hawaii especially the south east Asian population in hawaii
@Martha yes, I did it at Egerton University, it was a very interesting study since I was able to get atleast 2.5 kg per piece with a 3-4 month shelf life. As for the selling, yes I do sell(they're organically grown and I sell to individuals), currently the next crop will be ready earliest next year June (2021). I will gladly send some your way.. You can email me /us longburnkenya@gmail.com
We need more love and power to organic farmers especially from government levels so they don’t have to chase top dollar from hotels and restaurants and can focus on feeding regular people!!!
Aloha i'm a young inspired generation farmer. I had a question in regards to growing kalo, mala style. Being that I live in Makaha - Oahu it's mostly hot all the time. As I prepare a 1/2 acre I want to do it properly. How often would you recommend I water, and any recommendation on varieties I should be planting?
AWareness yes water is life indigenous peoples memory stone no border line's for the indigenous people of turtle island, and manny blessing for sharing cousin have great day WALK IN BEAUTY DREAM SMOKE DREAM CATCHERS!.
Samoans prepare them by peeling the skin then slice in half or round shape, then you can roast in oven or in a outside umu or boiling them...drain before adding the coconut milk...yumyum😋
In the Philippines we ate also the stem and leaves. I love taro roots, leaves and stem cooked with fish sauce or anchovies and coconut milk. Delicious.
This guy no way he gonna get hungry. He got all yr round food supplies. I like taro vegs you can eat from root till stems and leaves. You can even dry them!
Mahalo for sharing your mana'o! I planted some taro for the 1st and harvested. I noticed that my hands had that fiber glass itchiness as I pulled the kalo. Is that normal?
