Tobago Blue Food Festival
What is Blue Food?
The term “Blue Food” is associated with the ground provision: Dasheen.
Dasheen is a tall- growing tropical plant that resembles the ornamental elephant-ear plant and cocoyam. The leaves, stems and the underground part of the dasheen plant are edible.
Also known as Taro, Dasheen is called Blue Food by locals as some versions of the root vegetable turn varying shades of blue and indigo when cooked.
