Poi-History

Poi, the staple of the traditional Hawaiian diet, is made from Taro, an ancient root crop grown
throughout the Tropics for its edible corms and leaves. Early Hawaiians not only used the Taro
plant for food, but also utilized the various parts for medicinal purposes, treating ailments ranging
from insect bites and fevers to heart problems and stomach disorders.

Poi-Production

Poi was made by mashing cooked, peeled Taro corms with a stone pestle, or poi pounder.
Water was added until the poi was smooth and sticky. The poi was then allowed to age and
ferment, acquiring a sour tang. The term one, two and three finger poi refers to the consistency.
The thicker the poi, the fewer fingers needed to eat it. Today, poi is made by manufacturers using
modern production methods. It is processed at night, so that fresh poi can be brought to the markets
in the early morning.

Poi-Nutrition

Poi was not only the staple carbohydrate in the diet of the early Hawaiians, but also served as an
excellent source of vitamin B, calcium and phosphorus. Because of its small starch grains, poi is
an easily-digested carbohydrate—an excellent choice for infants, the elderly and those who must
chose their diets carefully. In addition, poi has been found to be practically non-allergenic. Those
allergic to milk or grains such as wheat and rice can often enjoy poi with no adverse reaction.
