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 ❤
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!
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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!
My grandmother grew up in the countryside of the state of Virgi,. She and my great-grandmother used to make pig feet in the oven. It's awesome to see how others on the other side of the globe in a different culture make them. And it's an honor to have you visit our channel, we can discuss more about our experiences in harvesting and building farms.
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 🤦♂️
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 ❤❤
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)
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.
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 ❤️💯
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 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 .
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
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.
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 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🙏🙏
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
Very big taro's love it don't have to pay money for it just plant your own and your good to go, not in NZ have to pay for taro that's why it's good to be back in the island's
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.
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?
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
