Why was taro so important to ancient Hawaiians?
Taro root (corm) was and still is an important nutritional mainstay in the diet of Hawaiians. Taro root (kalo) is a complex carbohydrate (starch) as is our potato but much sweeter. Hawaiians hold taro to be sacred, as it is believed the spirit of Haloa, the ancestor of the Hawaiian people is present during consumption of poi (processed taro).
What is the main ingredient in poi?
The only ingredient, as far as I know, is the tropical starchy taro root, pounded and frequently allowed to ferment. Hawaiian in origin, the word poi means "food made from taro root", which shows the Hawaiians were more economical with language than English-speakers.
