  • Eating and harvesting taro stems in Chiang Mai, Thailand!
    🍓 Thai Strawberry Meal: • Spicy STRAWBERRY Tom Y...
    CHIANG MAI, THAILAND - Welcome to Chiang Mai. Today we’re visiting Ontai Farm (ออนใต้ฟาร์ม), which is an amazing organic farm in Chiang Mai. We’ll especially be focusing on taro stems, and picking them and cooking them for lunch.
    Taro stems are a vegetable I really love and eat whenever I have a chance in Thailand. But today was the first time I’ve ever been able to harvest them and cook them immediately, as fresh as possible. After harvesting the ingredients they made two main dishes - a taro stems salad with a variety of freshly sliced herbs, veggies, and kale. And additionally they made a curry with turmeric and lime juice with the taro stems.
    It was a delicious meal at Ontai Farm in Chiang Mai, Thailand and the vegetables and ingredients were incredibly fresh and nutritious. Highly recommended!
    Ontai Farm - g.page/ontaifarm?share
    DISCLAIMER - Not all taro stems are edible, only certain varieties, so please don’t go out eating any taro looking stem. Make sure it is the edible variety.

    We eat taro in hawaii. We use the whole plant. My family strips the outer skin of the stem to make cooking faster and texture more desirable. We make stews and soups with the stem and or leaves. We call the stems, "Hā" or "Hāhā" we also pound the corm to make poi. We use the leaves in laulau, Lawalu, and other dishes.

    In Nepal the stem and leaf both are cooked and mashed to thick consistency and the paste of green chilly , Sichuan pepper and lemon juice is added for flavour.
