Order Poi

Buy FRESH Poi and Hawaiian foods for your very own luau party. Our Poi is not sitting in the freezer awaiting purchase.

For those of you who don't know what poi is pounded (pretty much pulverized) taro root. This staple starch of the traditional Hawaiian diet is made from taro, an ancient root crop grown throughout the Tropics. 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. And yes, it's supposed to be purple in color!

Preparation: To soften frozen poi, add water as directed on the outside of the bag (one cup per pound). Place in microwave and stir every minute or place container in double broiler over stove top. Use a blender, smoothie maker or hand-held mixer to mash out lumps and make into a paste. You may want to add a little sugar to sweeten this tart food. Poi may be frozen up to six months.
