Description
Texture in Green Taro leave.nOne can ignore large leaves for only so long, and the Alocasia macrorrhiza has big leaves, up to four feet long. As one might suspect, it also has a large root, up to a foot long and half a foot through.nnThe Giant Taro was first domesticated in the Philippines. Polynesian explorers took the large tuber eastward during their travels carrying it to Hawaii around 1500 years ago. Itââ¬â¢s now a major food staple in areas that are too warm or humid to raise traditional starch vegetables such as potatoes. While it is a food crop it escapes from cultivation and becomes naturalized.
