Lūʻau leaves are a Hawaiian staple, similar in texture and taste to spinach or collard greens, with a deep, savory flavor.

Keep frozen until ready for use. To make your own laulau or squid/chicken lūʻau dish, simply simmer leaves in coconut milk along with your choice of meats and simmer until leaves fall apart for an island-style meal. Alternatively, use as you would frozen spinach.

Ingredients: Kalo (Taro) and filtered water

Grown and produced in Hawaiʻi

Cooking Instructions:

1. Defrost in refrigerator before using.
2. If dry, crumble into a saucepan and add a little water. 
3. Simmer on the stovetop and stir until your desired consistency.
4. Cool and serve.

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.
