Welcome and Mahalo!!!

Welcome to Taroandti.com. I’ll put all of my taro information and images here. I grow about 30 varieties of colocasia esculenta, as well as a couple of Xanthosoma - all edible taros from Hawaii, the Pacific Rim and South America. These plants are lovely to grow, and delicious to eat. I’ll put more on this particular blog as I reorganize Taro and Ti. All parts of taro can be eaten - leaves, petioles and corms, tho all parts of taro must be cooked before consuming. One of the most well known uses of taro is poi, a pasty substance created by pounding and mashing the cooked kalo corm. However, there are vastly many more uses for this diverse little plant and I hope to touch on at least a few of them here.

Stumble it!
