What is Dalo/ Taro?
Taro is native to southeast Asia. It is a perennial, tropical plant primarily grown as a root vegetable for its edible starchy corm and as a leaf vegetable and is considered a staple in African, Oceanic and Asian cultures.
It is known by many local names and often referred to as 'elephant ears' when grown as an ornamental plant.
Taro, talo, dalo, dago, aba, angel, aro, ma – these are all names for the plant that has helped provide good nutrition to South Pacific Islanders for hundreds of years.
Ilived in Fiji for six weeks this year and have never seen so much dalo in my life. Here in Trinidad and Tobago, we call it dasheen.
