One of the vegetables I miss, living abroad, is taro or gabi leaves cooked in coconut milk. We are able to buy dried leaves here from the Asian store but theyâre not quite the same as fresh ones. They also come with a hefty price tag. So when I saw an opportunity to grow these plants from grocery bought vegetables, I took the opportunity. The experience was nice!
Please let me know how you like this video.
Part 2 - harvesting and cooking taro harvested from the garden.
Other names: Taro, Gabi, Eddoe, Malanga, Calallo, Colocasia Esculenta Elephant's ears.

So, what does taro taste like? Taro is slightly sweet and nutty in flavor, and it's the root of the taro plant, which grows in tropical and semitropical climates all over the world. If you're wondering how to grow taro, and you don't live in such a climate, you can attempt to grow it in a greenhouse. Taro has actually been a food staple in many Southeast Asian, South Indian, African, and Pacific Island cultures for centuries. Registered dietitian and spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, Alissa Rumsey describes taro as "a starchy vegetable similar to a potato but with twice the fiber." Sounds good to us! She also says that the root is "an excellent source of vitamin B-6, as well as a good source of potassium, magnesium, and vitamin C." Taro also contains other B vitamins, including b1, b2, b3, b5, and folate, all of which are involved in energy, metabolism, and red blood cell production.
"Taro also contains minerals like copper and zinc," adds registered dietitian Isabel Smith. "These are key for thyroid health. Meanwhile, manganese is part of an antioxidant pathway in the body, and there's also potassium for your heart health." With all these promising nutrients, we bet you're wondering how you should consume the lavender speckled root. We've got your back with a few creative ways to eat taro. - Jak na to + styl

We want to grow taro among other traditionally tropical plants/food, in the UK. Those giant leaves can be eaten also?
So good to see another video that doesn't go off on a piano playing tangent
Ah ganun palaka đ€Ł ang galing naman ng vids.
ang sarap nmn nito..thank you for sharing..team replay
hinihintay kona sissy yong part 2 ang part one nakakahappy kaya dapat magtanim nalang
Thank you sis. Gusto ko gumawa ng laing. Yum yum.
wow. trending po sis
Ang taro pala pwde itanim kahit sa paso nice to know kung walang mabilhan sa store meron kang sariling tanim galing mo mag alaga ng halaman
Hahahaha! I don't plant the entire taro, I cut off the growing nub and plant that and I eat the rest! I am in the UK so they are kinda special and cost a fair bit too!
Do you plant it right after cutting or wait for the cut surface to dry? I'm afraid mime spoils, since it started to grow fluffy mold at the bottoms. But tops show lil pink shoots, so I'm hopeful.
Hmmm, thatâs good. I should do that next time. Taro is expensive here too.
Chur to that ! From NZ
We plant just the tip in nigeria as well as we eat the entire thing
I'm in the UK too. Can you do this with eddos aka cocoyam? How do you sprout them?
Very nice! Kung magwork out iyan share a plant ha? Hehe.
Napaisip ako siguro agriculture major in cropsci ang natapos nyo po kasi ang galing nyo po magtaning ng kahit ano po at ang resulta is amazing lahat...
This is what I did today here in my home in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I bought 3 taro tubers from a grocery store for just RM1 (USD0.24). The tubers already sprouting in the shop with green spears/shoots on top. I planted them in a big grocery bag, I dug holes at bottom of bag, pour in a mixture of several types of soil, and I buried the tubers in the soil.
I planned to do this 2 weeks ago, I bought a lot of tubers for planting. But my wife cooked the tubers this afternoon, she didn't know these were planting materials, she thought the tubers would soon go bad as they were giving out shoots in the basket. No harm done, I just bought new tubers which I immediately planted today to avoid them going into the chicken curry pot again! Haha!
That was quite an adventure for your taro bulbs. Thanks for sharing, gave me a chuckle today. Sheâs a wise woman, would not let food go to waste đ I hope that your planted bulbs would do great!
Can I plant them on December? Inside my indoor mini greenhouse?? I can't wait
Nice video. Are you going to plant more this season? How was your harvest btw?
I think you have just planted a Japanese taro called Satoimo. Good luck!!!
parang magwork out naman ang taro na yan healthy naman para no need na bumili sa palengke
Tamsak sis sana all may 27k views
Hehe Oo nga. Sana all talaga sis. đ„°
Can you root the stims? Or does it need to be bulbs?
:) the dust is tickling my nose :)
I bought a tuber from the grocery store but don't know which end goes in the dirt? Do I have to keep in a plastic bag first to sprout? Please and thank you
The taros look very healthy.
Thanks ate. Yes they had a good start. Do you have a good recipe for gabi and coconut milk? Will go and inspect how the plants did and if they can be cooked soon.
Hmmm, are we going to have taro in coconut milk soon? They spicy fish youâve got the other day would be a great compliment to the dish. Donât forget to invite me. đ€Łđ¶
I heard coconut.
How long before you can get
Madameng ganyan samin madam.
That's great! Dito kung di ka magtatanim, you can only buy dried leaves at the asian store. So expensive!
yes found them in a german home depot and i freaked out bc i knew what it was. i knew kalo from my auntie who lives in hawaii
How did you germinate them?
May sayote din.... kumusta iyong sayote. Nabuhay ba?
Hi guys
I love the project
Are leaves edible?
Hi there, any update video yet?
What is this dirt or coconut husk?
What does it grow into
Hilig nyo pala magtanim
Yes thanks. Itâs a relaxing activity lalo na ngayong pandemic. They exude a feeling of calmness and vigor.
How long until harvest?
I cut the top off an put to grow an it grows
How is the taro going sis? Update mo kami sa mga nanyayari.
thats great when they sprouted but how do you tell which end is up. They say if you are not sure you should put them on their sides.
Yes that is a good idea to put sideways if you canât tell. But I think itâs not so hard to tell. The growing green part should be pointing up. The top part is also wider than the bottom.
@@ALittleGardenUpNorth when I buy them there is no growth green on the. I just bought another one yesterday. I had them in planters last year but think now that I have a few extra Ill try them in the ground. I have great soil up here..
1. you might want to skip the germinating part and just sow directly in the dirt.
2. it's probably easier if you skip wetting the soil first.
I store it in plastic bag but it turns little white fungus.why this happend
Salam apu
You Don't need to plant all mukki. You can make it half.
How did get started in the beginning, where did you get the sprouted bulb.
The taro bulb is from the grocery store, it was left inside the plastic bag for weeks. There was a little moisture in the bag and it was just on the kitchen counter top. It sprouted just like that.
I appreciate your reply. I bought taro bulb from grocery store and have planted more than three weeks, no result yet.
I will use your tip next year. Thank you so much.
I do not think I can take it from pot, it will ruin my bulb.
Since you have planted it, keep it there. Make sure the soil is moist and the plant is not in direct sun.
All your contents are nice maam, worth to watch.

Thank you so much Sis. I appreciate that.
I bought taro from the grocery, the problem is it grow roots but not leaves. How long shall I wait for it to grow foliage or it might not grow foliage anymore cause the taro from the stores might be sprayed with chemicals for it not to grow leaves.
Hi Emilie, did you plant them in soil yet?
It took a month almost before i saw green sprouts from my taro bulb, you are right, they are sprayed with growth retardant. Then after I planted them in soil, it took another 2-3 weeks before I saw the leaves growing. It took time.
@@ALittleGardenUpNorth oh yes. I planted it directly in the pot. Then when I saw your video. I try to excavate and inspected the roots. But I buried it again and placed a mixing soil cause it rooted. The next day, I saw several shoots. I hope that it will become leaves. I just planted it in less than a month. So youâre probably right even I planted it in June and now July. It will take Somewhere in August for it to sprout its leaves. Thanks for responding.
And it like shady area and moist soil all the time. I think it liked when I watered it with banana peel tea rich in potassium yesterday. I saw it grew several shoots. Thank you for the tips!
How often do taro divide?
Here in Zone 4, I have to harvest in the fall. So every year for me. They grow bigger if you can leave them in ground for more than one summer.
Favorite ko yang taro madam.

Ooh, miss ko na ang laing.

Are these considered elephants ear?
Both Taro and Elephants Ears are different varieties from the same species of plants. Taro is grown for food while elephantâs ears is ornamental, not sure if itâs edible.
@@ALittleGardenUpNorth I just learnt something new, thank you. I had no idea. Iâve always thought elephant ear were edible.
My pleasure. đ„°
Is taro a perennial?
Not in Canada thatâs for sure. As soon as the cold came, the leaves withered. But the bulbs can be saved for planting again (or eating).
@@ALittleGardenUpNorth So how did it turn out? I got some bulbs too from the store. Let me know! Iâm in California.
Pop them in a zip up plastic bag with a touch of water and leave in the airing cupboard for 2 months. They come out with roots and growth. Then plant in perlite compost mix . I had 50 this year wooop wooop
You said $40.00. Thatâs a rip off price. You go to any Indian store and itâs sooooo cheap
Rip off indeed. Unfortunately even in the Indian Stores here itâs also very expensive. Imported goods in Canada (and remote places, like where I live) are like gold!
Hardiness zone 6 here, it's expensive and very hard to get in stores, we don't have Asian stores in my region, and in supermarktes it was available at the beginning of February, when they sold Asian stuff & foods, I guess it's linked with Lunar New Year. I bought few bulbs and hope to grow them, taro is so tasty!
What a waste. You couldâve cut off the tops and eaten the bottoms, since they were already ripe. And replanted the tops.
đ€Łđ those tools are for little children LOLOLOLOLOLOL and dich the gloves dude...dirt is good for the body and the soul...come on!!! stop playing gardening if you can not stand touching the soil...it is not poop u knowđ€Łđđđ
