We did it #teamFiji! We got the Oxford Dictionary to improve their definition of kava. All of you who helped with the likes and retweets, you're the real heroes. BEFORE and AFTER screenshots below.

Once harvested, tavioka absorbs oxygen and oxidizes, resulting in black streaks and spoilage in 3-4 days.
I’ve just seen wax-dipped tavioka for the first time here in a Dallas Walmart. The wax coating extends the shelf-life up to 21 days.

25% of the turmeric imported into the US comes from Fiji, up from 4.2% in 2016.

Someone needs to tell the owner of Island Magic that turmeric didn't arrive a century ago. It was brought here by the First Fijians 3000 years ago. The reason he has a business is because Fijian turmeric is superior to Indian turmeric (5% curcumin vs 2-3% in Indian turmeric)

I first heard about a new kava cultivar on Rabi in 2018. My uncle told me he heard about it from relatives from Karoko & Valesavu. They said it was from Vanuatu (likely, but no evidence yet for this). Fiji's first non-noble kava has just been documented mdpi.com/2077-0472/15/5/478

We’ve reached a new level. This nut fell today having already sprouted.

This tree is extremely possessive and refuses to give up its nuts. It only releases them after they’re dried up inside, and inedible. So when I need some, I have to stone the tree

A Horse sized Duck, though difficult, would yield a delicious curry if defeated. Batak curry for the win!

@piotikoduaduafj Would you rather fight a horse-sized duck or 100 duck-sized horses?
