For weeks, I've been searching high and hell low for wild taro. I found nothing but useless ferns and a few spare berries. Where the hell are they? Once cooked, delicious taro root is one of the best local foods available. The native Hawaiians have cultivated them for centuries. Wait...since they farmed them at the banks of rivers, where would wild taro be found today? It was in the gulches of these waterways where I found them growing amongst the thick jungle brush. I found not only taro but a bounty of purple sweet potato as well, all of it left by the native settlers long past. They were massive plants, hiding in front of my face the entire time.
