Kalo - Kulolo
A Taro dessert cooked in the IMU or underground oven. We share the taste of organic Hawaiian Kalo cleaned, grated and mixed to perfection. The flavors of Kiawe wood, Banana and Ti leaves add just the right touch. Wrapped and gifted with Aloha from our Kumuola 'ohana to you. Keep an eye out on Facebook: Kumuola Hawaii when the next Imu will open.
Kalo - Lu'au
We offer young Taro leaves from two Hawaiian varieties of dry land grown Kalo: Haokea and 'Elepaio. This is a hearty choice of super green, full of nutritional value. Please cook leaves well, to break down calcium oxilate, and to eliminate itching. Lu'au was most commonly used in laulau (meat wrapped in leaf), and or lu'au, a Hawaiian stew. We invite you to be creative and mix luau into your own recipes. $5 per lb.
Kalo - Poi
Poi is the greatest gift we can share as Hawaiian farmers. With much Aloha, we prepare the space, dig the Lo'i, open the water ways, plant the Huli, maintain the health of the Lo'i for 9-12 months, Huki the Kalo/corm, cook, prepare and process the corm to make Poi for you and your 'Ohana. We hope you enjoy! Ho'ola Hawaii! $10 per lb.
