Taro Revolt

17th-century peasant conflicts on the island of São Jorge

The Taro Revolt, or the Taro Mutiny, is the name given to the 17th-century peasant conflicts that occurred on the island of São Jorge—particularly the municipality of Calheta, in the parishes of Ribeira Seca and Norte Pequeno—in protest to the annual payment of tithes for the production of taro, a green-stalk plant whose root was used as a food source throughout the Azores.
