Bridging Cultures, Sharing Aloha
Poi is a traditional Hawaiian staple made from cooked taro, known in Hawaiʻi as kalo. The taro is pounded and mixed with water until it reaches a smooth, paste-like consistency.
For generations, poi has held an important place in Hawaiian food, culture, and family traditions. This demonstration gives visitors a closer look at how poi is traditionally prepared and the cultural meaning behind the process
Poi has long held an important place in Hawaiian culture. Traditionally made from kalo, or taro, it was a staple food shared within families and communities. Kalo also carries strong cultural meaning in Hawaiian tradition, connecting food, family, land, and ancestry.
Traditionally, cooked kalo is pounded on a wooden board with a stone pounder. Small amounts of water are added as the taro is worked into a smooth consistency. The texture can vary from thick to soft depending on how much water is added.
