Duruka, Tebu Telor, Fiji Asparagus, Pitpit and Naviso

Product Description

Saccharum edule, commonly called duruka,  tebu telor,  Fiji asparagus,  dule (Fiji),  pitpit  (Melanesia) and  naviso. Is a species of sugarcane, that is a grass in the  genus  Saccharum with a fibrous stalk that is rich in sugar.

Duruka is the general name of a favoured food plant grown throughout Viti Levu. Although similar in appearance to sugar-can dovu, it has an edible central core or unopened inflorescence. Fijians distinguish two main types of duruka based on the colour of the outer stem: duruka damu (red duruka) and duruka vulavula (white duruka).

Duruka damu is the term mainly used by people in the towns and markets where it is sold but the people who grow and harvest this red duruka call it minimanu. The red duruka or minimanu has only one variety whereas the white duruka has at least six named varieties which are distinguished by the size of stem, length of edible portion when mature and the period when they are ready to harvest.
