Here in Hawaii the locals make a dish called “Laulau”. They use the leaves to wrap pork, sometimes butterfish is added. It taste amazing. Samoans make a dish called Palusami that is delicious as well! Try to look it up and give it a try. You can also make vegan versions if need be. It’s interesting to me to see how people around the world cook differently. Thank you for naming the dishes. I will try to look them up and try to make them for our family to try! Have a blessed day Sir!

Beautifully presented with full of necessary information. Thank you

My favorite I just love taro curry with rice yum yum

Thank you! This was great since my mom isn't here! I do remember that she made me oil my hands before cleaning when I was younger

It is so easy to cook taro leave , in my family only my mum and myself are not alergic to taro sap, we can cook without any itchiness in the veggies, if you are not matching aura what we called it the veggies are very itchy when you eat , that is why not many can cook traditionally method, may be now we live in modern world there method that can stop itchiness, thank you for your video

Thanks for this video. I have Xanthasoma growing and did not know how to cook it. I now know to use the young, tender leaves and how to cut it up.

Thank you so much for the video. I bought fresh tarp leaves in woodside queens nyc .. and I will cook them tonight , Filipino style called LAING

This is fabulous how-to . Doesnt say how long to cook gotta worry about itchy if too raw.

We used to cook that one also in the Philippines... We add more chili to make it spicy :)

This video is more useful than others..thank you.

Thats how we do it in the Philippines, so it will be clean, we take off the skin of the taro stem.. Thanks for the video ..

Hi, chris I really love all your cooking videos...I am Liberian (West African), we cook a dish called Potatoes Leaves. I will love to see you cook and try this dish, it's really nice and has lots of flavor. You can also add any meats or seafood of your choice to this dish. I have the complete recipe for this dish and I can email it to you. By the way, I have a good friend from Trinidad and she loves this when I make it for her.

I think we will all watch your video, if you want to make one!

This is a big help, thank you for this video. Good for laing recipe it's a pinoy food recipe.

Montagnard indigenous Central highland ,we cook the leaves ,making soup so delicious.

To prevent itching while cleaning taro leaves ,just deep your hand in vinegar each time. When cooking add a little tamarind .

We are growing this in N. Georgia. Cant wait to cook with it. Could you please tell me how you season it?

caribbeanpot nice tutorial. My Nan used to make calaloo all the time. She also made bajan fishcakes

How can we do away the itching that comes with these leaves after cooking ? Addition of tamarind sometimes does not help.Can you please give any tips. Great video👍

Before cleaning rub your hands with lime juice

Chris , you should tell them that in Trinidad we rub lime or lemon juice to prevent itching and discoloration to our hands while cleaning the dasheen leaves and stems .

Good demo your hand watch represents the four colours flag Mauritius✌

Is this Malanga leaf? Does it give off a root starch that can be eaten? If so I have tons in my back yard. Would love to try them out if these are it.

Medical News Today Malanga and taro are related but not the same thing. Malanga is part of the genus Xanthosoma, while taro is part of the genus Colocasia. Malanga is a starch-rich tuber root vegetable with a rough, bumpy, hairy, brown skin. Taro is brown and scaly and rough on the outside, and some taro are purple inside and some are white. Malanga is a tropical plant native to Southeast Asia and India. It has a nutty and earthy flavor with a waxy, starchy consistency when prepared. Malanga can be prepared in a variety of ways, such as baking, frying, and stewing. Some people also grind malanga to make flour for baking.

In west Africa these leaves are called cocoyam leaves

That’s how we used to do it until it was discovered that the peel has nutritients also, there is no need to peel the stems, just wash, cut up and cook.😄

I'm growing some here in Florida. They are coming up! So now I realize I don't really know in detail what to do when it's time to eat them. So, here we are! Frankly I'm not going to cry if the leaves are a little ragged, it's so hard to grow ANYTHING, you know? And then of course later there's too much of something. I'm buried in overgrown cassava roots and of course leaves right now. Both are just barely edible with a lot of processing, and I can't keep up at all. This cocoyam business looks a lot more tasty and nice! Cassava leaves are kind of rugged.

We dont eat the stalks, just the leaves and the root (taro). The middle leaf is the youngest one, thats the one you usually eat but when you live in Countries where taro leaves are hard to come by (like I do now) you cant be fussy so eat the older ones aswell.

caribbeanpot could you put up a recipe to make Jamaican patties.

Wow, I was told all my life that the leaves aren't edible, and you would get an itch attack if you undercooked any part of the plant.

@leonardpearlman4017

I think that's definitely true if it's raw or even undercooked! I recently tried cooking a big stem of this, it was beautiful and looked great in the pot- so I took a little taste and INSTANTLY knew it was a mistake! Ended up cooking it a lot more, which was a shame, it lost the interesting texture. You know, in modern cooking we want stuff to be raw or barely cooked, and I think have forgotten that a lot of things just can not be eaten raw! We've gotten spoiled by tender vegetables.... I'm gardening now (in Florida, USA) and quickly realize that tender stuff is not going to make it! Things are tough, poisonous, or full of slime so they can SURVIVE, and you have to find a way to eat them. Good think we discovered fire! Otherwise you'd have to be a goat to live on this stuff.
