Description
Known as the potato of the Polinesian people it is the staple of Hawaii in the form of poi. Early Hawaiians supposedly consumed up to 15 pounds of taro (as poi), per person, on a daily basis. It was such a revered source of nourishment that only men were allowed to grow it. Even today, much of the Hawaiian culture is based on taro cultivation.
