Love the help from your children. Don’t hear them complaining. They’re so impressive and you must be very proud to have caring children. I’m proud of them❤ Thank you my Niue YT family. Stay blessed ❤
Taro growing and harvesting are so similar to what is done back in my little village here in Papua New Guinea. I come from a smaller island (Umboi/Siassi Island) and our staple food is Taro. Taro has a greater value than all other root crops on the island. I admire your harvest and thank you for sharing the Pacific Culture. Keep our Culture and Traditions alive. Hope those taro leaves don't go to waste, creamed with coconut milk and add some herbs and you can't go wrong. 😊😅.. Happy New Year.
Taro leaves in coconut cream and fish is delicious. Boiled taro leaves with pork, mutton or fish are delicious, nutritious with lemon juice and chillies with taro itself are wholesome meals and eaten in controlled amounts are good for wellbeing 💪💪💪👍👍👍☝️☝️☝️🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Our taro leaves are not good to eat. Only the new and very young leaves. All the other ones will leave a very unpleasant taste in your mouth even if you cook it for a long time.
Always love to watch your video because talo I'm sure peoples are watching it's around the world you keep on deliver your video we watching it's God bless Monika a Moe Moe tau fanau
Thankyou for sharing your beautiful island activities I have taste Niue taro from my Niue friends its so beautiful yummy I love watching any islands activities I'm watching from New Zealand
i lived in Niue Island with my family when I was a young girl, way back in 1952! My father, Fritz Krueger and mom and my 5 siblings and I were serving a mission for the LDS Church back then. Our favorite foods were the taro and taro leaves baked in coconut cream in the umu earth oven. We also loved the coconut crabs they'd catch at nite-time and chicken and pig when they'd put on a feast. Anything cooked in coconut cream was so delicious! This fabulous Island grows the best taro!
Wow! Nice taro and very nice land for growing. On the island of Palau in the western Pacific, taro planting, fertiziling, and harvesting is all women's work. Men never go in the taro patch unless they're feminine type of men! I know it's hard work, but that's how it is there. Men go fishing, build houses, and do all sorts of "manly" tasks and women do taro farming and gardening. I am familiar with Hawaii and know that men do taro farming and harvesting in Hawaii. Strange how the division of labor among men and women get all sorted out in various Pacific islands... Anyway, your video just popped in my youtube feed, so I watched it. I loved watching it and look forward to watching more.
Bula. Was very fortunate to visit the rock back in 2019. And I can say that Niue has the best taro I've ever had. Two things I remember Tekihi and Niue Taro. Too good. God bless.
Vinaka bro! greetings from Fiji I recognise some of the Taro types and others I haven't seen.. a couple of years ago there used to be numerous varieties however the export market and commerce have streamlined the types to only a few. it's sad btw. I hope you keep your varieties thriving... maybe someday Fiji may look to Niue for variety. Interesting Video indeed.
Throughout the Pacific and Asia, taro is planted and harvested on all levels of farming. It is such a staple of diet, that the corm is best eaten with the leaves done in coconut milk. Admirable harvest, Happy New Year!
We really enjoy watching your videos, especially the Sunday feed/ lunch ones 😅😅😅 but these videos on the plantation are also enjoyable to watch. Thanks for sharing your harvest with us to see!
Never tried Niue taro but I've heard it's so good. Do you plant taro in swamps? I like the small ones and the black ones when it's cooked. In Raro they are planted in swamps and takes a year before harvesting. We live in N.Z and we will relocate to Raro so that our kids can experience the island life. Awesome video
We used to have a taro called kalo Niue, it disappeared in 90's cause of the taro disease in the Island, nice to see it in your plantation, it's pink similar to the Fijian pink taro. Nice video uso.
There is two type of what Samoan call talo Niue, we call the talo fase, fase tea, ( t pronounce as 's') leaga ua outou nonofo sa sui le igoa ole talo ile talo salafai, 😆 🤣
@@jamestalagi7897 thats always got why it wasnt just spelt with an S.. Eg. Ti=Si Makatea= Makasea.. its clearly an S sound lol bloody palagi .. Like fiji.. natives called it Viti Hawaii natives called it havaii 🤦♂️
Awesome video brother always looking forward to your next video video 🤙🏽 take care and God bless much love to you and family 🙏🏽❤️ and have a Happy and Blessed New Years ❤️💯
Thank you. I've always wanted to know how to grow taro & hulis if that's spelt correctly. I have taro i am growing. First time grower. My nan use to grow them when I was a child as our ancestors did. So thank you looking to learning more about regrowing hulis. I am Maori from new Zealand. Ruterangi (Aotearoa)
HI mate are the leaves still good for cooking or are they to old tried them cooked with fish and coconut cream they were so awesome didnt like the root part though .I would love to grow some but getting hold of some you have to know someone who rows them here in New Zealand good vid thanks allot .
Thanks so much for posting this. I've started my own patch, with the pink variety. Apparently you can't eat the black stemmed taro, they call it ornamental in new Zealand 🤷♀️🤷♀️ but seeing you guys pull your taros in this vid is a good indication of when to do it. So thank you for posting this vid ❤❤
what do you think of plowing the soil where the bushes are growing, spot where you planted last year?? thanks for the videos...miss that island life..God bless you and your family
I would say that’s an amazing harvest bro. Always a rewarding feeling to harvest fruits of your hard labor. Yes indeed on sharing for the survival of taro varieties on the island. That goes for any crop farmed. Wish you and your family a Happy Prosperous New Year. Alofa atu from 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🙏🙏
I am from the island 🏝️ of Grenada 🇬🇩, my Dad was a farmer, he planted lots of Taro, we call it (Dasheen) in my country. We ate it salt fish and cocoanut oil, my mom would put it in soups. It is a very delicious root plant, we also use the leaves, it is cooked with coconut 🥥 milk.
When i was at the Saturday markets in Mangere i used to see the purple and yellow variety of taro being sold. I see the yellow one in your video but curious if you have any of the purple ones there in Niue?
Ayah kamu sangat pandai dan bijaksana.😮😅.sumber makanan yang tidak di sangka2.muga bumi kita akan maamur dan ada rezki berpanjangan.ada insan yang merealisasi bumi dan alam dengan baik .kita semua jadi bahagia.
We used to eat taro with coconut milk, snails and lemon grass once a week. We get it wild and sometimes the extra are being feed to livestocks like pigs. Such a versatile plant. We never plant it as it grows wild next to anything with water. I miss my island life in Negros, Philippines.
Hi thank you for these amazing videos! I think I seen these in the grocery store before, but didn’t know they grew from a plant that looked similar to a kind of skinny elephant ear! I live in Florida and idk if we have those taro’s around here, but we have elephant ears everywhere 🙃 I saw lots of delicious foods in your other videos which makes my mouth water and sometimes in the titles I saw where taro was listed as “on the menu.” This is obviously not a cooking channel as far as recipes but it would be amazing to see how yall cook these taro’s. Any chance for a video or two solely dedicated to taro recipes and how-to-cook demonstrations? The reason being is because I want to buy some of these and cook taro over here in FL but don’t even know where to begin!
That was really interesting man. I grew up on an (oz) farm and have occasionally lived with farmers in Asia but I've never seen taro grown. The young people also seem nice, polite and productive. A valuable thing to cultivate in this day and age.
I have seen all that field was ful ot taros. What do you do, go to the field from time to time as you ned it for home cooking, or do you harvest them in one go then replant for next year?
i am impressed by the sizes of these harvest you got! very impressive and motivating. i wanna grow a taro to this size. What are the tips? unfortunately, we here in Palau, plant in a taro patch wet land. not dry land.
Thank you please tell how important taro to us islanders in terms of diet culture strength value compre to potatoes do you have taro in the swap like in rarotonga do you know Albert hekesi or the giant cheers thank you
Niuean Taro is the best,loved growing up on Niue.
The uli is the best with coconut milk oh yeah 😆 🤣 😂 Alofa aku ❤️

I love this I am just wondering how many different Taro varieties do you grow on your plantation .??..😊
Thank you team.
Does the waste plant material get composted. or how do you use it ?
Itu Talas jenis apa ?... Kok bisa besar besar .. .. Salam sukses dari Indonesia .

Is the taro leaf blight present on this island?
Perhaps this is a resistant cultivar?
