Tahitian Spinach

$17.90 ($17.90-$17.90 choose a size)

This particular Taro was developed for its yield of edible leaves and stems rather than its roots. The leaves and leaf stems are eaten as a cooked, green vegetable. This plant has a Weed Warning. Weed Warning: Tahitian Spinach is prone to producing a multitude of small bulbils that, if disturbed, can spread rapidly. It tends to be hard to clear out of an area because of the sheer numbers of these small bulbils. So it is best planted off in a corner or in a large pot, where it can be left undisturbed. The stems are widely used as a celery substitute in tropical areas. They provide protein, calcium, phosphorus, iron, potassium and vitamins A, B, and C. The leaves can be harvested all year round. No Taro should ever be eaten raw, due to the presence of harmful oxalates, which are eliminated with cooking.
