ISO - Xanthosoma brasiliense / X. hastifolia . . . ?
« on: January 23, 2024, 12:24:05 PM »
Does anyone know of a source for Xanthosoma brasiliense or X. hastifolia?  Some common names
for this edible aroid are Tanier spinach, Tahitian taro, belembe, quelembe, calalou . . .

My neighbor is searching for this for one of his customers, and I wouldn't mind trying it out, either.

I did a Google search but all I could find for sale was in Australia or India.  Need domestic sourcing,
if anyone knows of a seller.

TIA

Have been searching without sucess for this edible species.  The only offers I can find for sale are
from foreign sources.

I'm still hoping that maybe one of our TFF members is growing this –or knows of someone who is
and could maybe, kindly, advise me of who that might be. 

Fingers X-ed!!

I believe that is what I have a pot of. I could split off a little. You could also check with Third Insight in Apollo Beach it came from them
