Frozen poi must be reheated in a saucepan for amazing consistency and flavor!

Poi is Hawaiʻi’s staple food that is made from cooked taro and water. A smooth, creamy texture with a flavor combo of sweet with a bit of sour tang is perfect as an addition to savory meals like laulau or fish.

About Kākoʻo ʻŌiwi

Kākoʻo ʻŌiwi is a community-based non-profit organization based in the ahupuaʻa of Heʻeia, moku of Koʻolaupoko, island of Oʻahu. With the support of the local community, Kākoʻo ʻŌiwi acquired a 38-year lease agreement with the State of Hawaiʻi Community Development Authority (HCDA) to implement Māhuahua ʻAi o Hoi (Regrowing the Fruit of Hoi), a long-range project to restore agricultural and ecological productivity to nearly 405-acres within the wetlands of Heʻeia. Through their cultural, educational and ecosystem restoration programs, Kākoʻo ʻŌiwi is promoting the social and economic advancement of the local community. They grow traditional crops like ʻulu (breadfruit), kalo (taro), and luau leaf. In 2020, they started milling poi, making kūlolo, and steaming luau leaves and kalo.
