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.

@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.

Here in my province in the Phippines we cook the leaves, peeled petiole and corms with coconut milk, shirmp, small vinegar and ginger....

I like the one's with the purple dot, in Jamaica we call it dasheen.

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.❤

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.

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 ! Trinidad & Tobago. West Indies.

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. Trinidad & Tobago. West Indies.

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…

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...

We have the yellow variety also, and it's mostly grown in swamp or what we call in Samoa, Kaufusi.

Good size taro variety. You're blessed.

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!

In Ghana we harvest them when the leaves are dried out and that’s when they get big.

Like your video brother from vanuatu 🇻🇺❤️.

Very good video.. very good harvest... Thank you.

I love taro..it's my favorite all time root lol..this harvest is joyfully to watch

Very good size of taro

Wow I love it

I just cant believe how they have access to just such a large variety of fruits , trees and plants. Feels like they live in paradise. Fresh produce right on their door step , surrounded by nature and enjoyed together in a close knit family and community! All the money in the world cant buy what they have.

The leaves cooked with coconut milk, fried fish, dhal, Basmati rice, WOW it's better than spinach .
