  • Description

    :
    
    Une très grande herbe. Une plante de la famille taro. Il a un tronc robuste et dressé atteignant 4 m de haut. Cela a des feuilles verticales en forme de flèche. Les feuilles ont des lobes ronds en bas. Les feuilles sont coriaces et sont souvent ondulées sur le pourtour. Les veines secondaires ne sont pas proéminentes. Le limbe des feuilles peut mesurer de 1 à 1,2 m de long. La structure feuillue autour de la fleur est jaune dans la partie supérieure. Il forme un capuchon et tombe lorsque la fleur s'ouvre. Les fruits sont des baies rouge vif. Le bulbe est grand, souvent courbé et au-dessus du sol. Il a souvent de petits bulbes sur le côté. Les fibres brunes de la base des feuilles pendent souvent de la tige. Les feuilles et les pétioles contiennent des cristaux piquants^{{{{0(+x) (traduction automatique)}.
    
    Original : A very large herb. A taro family plant. It has a stout erect trunk up to 4 m tall. This has upright leaves which are arrow shaped. Leaves have round lobes at the bottom. The leaves are leathery and are often wavy around the edge. The secondary veins are not prominent. The leaf blade can be 1-1.2 m long. The leafy structure around the flower is yellow in the upper section. It forms a hood and drops off as the flower opens. The fruit are bright red berries. The corm is large, often curved and above the ground. It often has small cormels at the side. Brown trailing fibres of the leaf bases often hang from the stem. The leaves and petioles contain stinging crystals^{{{0(+x).
    
    

  • Production

    :
    
    Des cormes de 8,5 à 40 kg ont été récoltées sur des plantes individuelles d'âge inconnu. Le temps de maturité est d'environ 12 mois, mais les plantes sont souvent laissées pendant 2-3 ans^{{{{0(+x) (traduction automatique)}.
    
    Original : Corms of 8.5 to 40 kg have been harvested from individual plants of unknown age. The time to maturity is about 12 months but plants are often left for 2-3 years^{{{0(+x).
    
    

  • Culture

    :
    
    Le sommet du corme principal est planté. Les petits bulbes ronds peuvent être plantés, mais tardent à mûrir. Un espacement de 1,2 x 1,2 m convient. Étant donné que le taro géant met plus d'un an à être prêt à être récolté, il finit souvent par pousser dans un ancien jardin sans trop de soin ni de désherbage, jusqu'à ce que le propriétaire veuille le récolter. La bouche peut être irritée par la mastication de parties de plantes mal cuites en raison de produits chimiques appelés oxalates. Le taro géant contient de petits cristaux d'oxalate de calcium en forme d'aiguille dans les tissus. Il est nécessaire de les retirer pendant la préparation et la cuisson. La méthode d'épluchage est importante. Normalement, certaines femmes qui sont particulièrement expérimentées dans le pelage font ce travail. De plus, le corme de taro est souvent laissé à flétrir pendant une semaine après sa récolte et avant son utilisation. Aussi pour aider à éliminer certains des cristaux, la tige est cuite pendant une longue période ou bouillie dans plusieurs changements d'eau. Il est également important d'utiliser la bonne variété de taro géant car les variétés cultivées dans les jardins contiennent moins de produits chimiques que les sauvages^{{{{0(+x) (traduction automatique)}.
    
    Original : The top of the main corm is planted. The small round cormels can be planted, but are slow to mature. A spacing of 1.2 x 1.2 m is suitable. Because the giant taro takes more than a year to be ready to harvest, it often ends up left growing in an old garden site without much care or weeding, until the owner wants to harvest it. The mouth can be irritated by chewing improperly cooked plant parts due to chemicals called oxalates. Giant taro contains small needle-like calcium oxalate crystals in the tissues. It is necessary to remove these during the preparation and cooking. The method of peeling is important. Normally some ladies who are especially experienced at peeling do this job. Also the taro corm is often left to wilt for a week after it is harvested and before it is used. Also to help remove some of the crystals, the stem is baked for a long time, or boiled in several changes of water. It is also important to use the right variety of giant taro because the kinds grown in gardens have less of the chemical than wild ones^{{{0(+x).

  :
  
  C'est un légume cultivé commercialement. Ce taro n'a d'importance locale que dans certaines zones côtières et îles de Papouasie-Nouvelle-Guinée, par exemple Rabaul, Namatanai. Il est important dans plusieurs îles du Pacifique et au Sri Lanka^{{{{0(+x) (traduction automatique)}.

• Distribution

  :
  
  Une plante tropicale. Il est largement répandu dans les zones humides ouvertes et le long des cours d'eau et dans certains types de forêts humides. La plante pousse à l'état sauvage du niveau de la mer jusqu'à 2600 m d'altitude sous les tropiques. Le taro géant est une plante tropicale et ne poussera pas bien en dessous de 10 ° C. Il nécessite une pluviométrie bien répartie et ne tolère pas la sécheresse. Même s'il pousse le long des berges des ruisseaux, il ne peut tolérer un sol gorgé d'eau. Il n'est utilisé comme nourriture que dans quelques zones côtières. Les formes sauvages couramment observées en croissance sont amères et non utilisées. Cela ne marche pas bien sur les atolls. Il convient aux zones de rusticité 11-12^{{{{0(+x) (traduction automatique)}.
  
  Original : A tropical plant. It is widely distributed in open wetlands and along streams and in some types of humid forest. The plant grows wild from sea level up to 2600 m altitude in the tropics. Giant taro is a tropical plant and will not grow well below 10°C. It requires a well distributed rainfall and does not tolerate drought. Even though it grows along creek banks it cannot tolerate waterlogged soil. It is only used as food in a few coastal areas. Wild forms commonly seen growing are bitter and not used. It does not do well on atolls. It suits hardiness zones 11-12^{{{0(+x).
