Abstract
Lehua and Bun-long (Chinese) variety taro corms and Hawaiian breadfruits were collected from major production sites in Hawaii. The macro- and micronutrients were analyzed and statistically compared. The Bun-long taro has significantly (p<0.05) higher protein, ash and macro-mineral contents when compared to Lehua taro and breadfruit. The dietary fiber content in both taro varieties is higher than USDA data for taro. Breadfruit has significantly lower fiber content but is higher in vitamin C than the two taro varieties. The monosaccharides, glucose and fructose, are significant in breadfruit but not in taro corms.
