 Homemade Poi making.   A Hawaiian traditional root food prepared in traditional ways

Kalo Taro leaf plant 

This is my beautiful Kalo in my garden

This is Pohaku Ku'ai "poi pounding stone"

Brought it to the beach to naturally sand and smooth the stone.  Used a river stone to smooth the Pohaku

Getting the poi board ready

Cooked taro root

Homemade Poi pounding

The finished product

Homemade poi , and hand pounded poi is so good.  Its so much better than milled machine grinded poi.  Its too smooth.  Hand pounded poi has some texture.  Some people may prefer smoother poi, but its alot more special when your getting hand pounded poi.  Pls keep updated on more.  
Aloha and Mahalo!
