Taro (Colocasia esculenta) is one of the oldest known cultivated crops in the world and traditionally has been a vital food for the indigenous people of Hawaii,as well as an important part of their culture. Poi,made from the taro root,has long been a nutritious source of fiber and vitamins for the Polynesians. It grows best in flooded fields,as here in the Hanalei Valley on Kauai,and today taro plays a significant role in Hawaii's agricultural economy | |
