This video is really well done. Poi calms the stomach dad ate it when he went through chemo therapy. My husband uses it to help his acid reflux. I used it along w/ginger tea to stop nausea when i was pregnant. Now my child eats poi maintain weight. I feel taro itself has so many uses and is healing. Thanks for the wonderful video!
Hi hiflyinjangus, please do post this video wherever you'd like to. It was very fun to make. I only wish I had had more time and some budget so I could have done a story that really does justice to the practice of Kalo farming. Thank you for your kind comment. Aloha!
I hope all is well with Morgan and his crew at the lo'i. We were with them a few weeks ago at the lo'i and kitchen. Unfortunately, Hurricane Lane just passed through bringing more than 40" of rain to the Big Island. We're hoping Waipio Valley didn't flood too badly nor destructively and everyone and crops are OK!
Thank you for sharing your mana'o. Thank you for taking your time to produce this awesome video. When your paying for poi..Your paying for labor ....its alot of work!!! Younger generations need to learn about this.
Much mahalos for making this video, I so will try to grow my own kalo up here in the mainland, because that's how much I miss it from back home. Even it gets mailed here, it's still not the same as fresh at all. Straight from the ancient nutrient-rich volcanic Hawaiian soil.
I will never forget the 4 days we spent at Tom Araki's "hotel" in Waipio. Tom had an extensive lo'i and his family came every weekend to work in the Lo'i. Tom asked us to walk his elderly dogs which we did and we figured that was his way to keep us from being hassled in the valley. We had a wonderful time. Most of the folks we saw were living a farming life and also doing very traditional crafts to perpetuate the Hawaiian culture. No one hassled us and I think they of course recognized Tom's old dogs. That was 20-30 years ago. Last Sept. we discovered Tom's family had opened a small restaurant in Kaimuki, O'ahu. We went and talked story and had a lovely lunch. We will never forget our 4 days in the most relaxing place on earth and won't forget the dry land taro with a lovely sauce to go with the sake we brought for Tom. Sweet.
I’m not Hawaiian but was raised in Big Island/Hawai’i and now living in DC. I miss and admire the Hawaiians 🤍 all that they do for the land & the aloha they spread to the community ✨🌺
Love taro! I once ordered poi and the pork they cook under the ground from Hawaii via overnight Fedex for my husband’s bday, expensive but sooo good! God bless the taro workers and the gentleman who have a great vision.🙏
Aloha...more sliced taro chips please. No taro pringles...or...eh? So. Remember Ohana Pizza in Hawi eh? I lived in the days of Ohana Pizza. Blessings to the Big Island.
🙏🏽MAHALO KE AKUA 🙏🏽HOPE FOR MANY MORE BLESSINGS TO COME!!!!! goodnight 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽KE AKUA BLESS🙏🏽🙏🏽 STAY SAFE! WAKE UP BLESS UP EVERYONE AND EVERYDAY AMEN 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Nice video those are the beautiful taro yummy cook boil like potato when it's cook take off water then put in coconut 🥥 cream boil then enjoy 👏😋😋we cook leaves with meat or coconut 🥥 milk 😅😅
Now we need the aina to take care us. Store shelves empty. Everything expensive They build expensive housing on top the mountain. Kapu. Private property Steal the water for golf course For hotels For the rich. Auwe. Rich move out. Leave their opala Then the locals have to pay taxes to clean it up. Natives of Hawaii have to unite. For our Ohana And all Hawaii
Aloha e Eric, I wish to mahalo you for granting permission to run you video on our community web site, it was very instructive and truly depicts the kalo culture from huli to harvest. The emotional tie your images brought to me personally was something I am grateful for, bringing up those memories long dormant was great.

This post is 2 years ago , everything is more expensive nowadays!!! And not everything is hard labor like Kalo, Poi is my favorite especially HANALEI NO KA OI !!! Aloha and Mahalo!!!
Don’t sell to Gerber, as Hawaiians we can create our own industry which would be much more profitable for the Hawaiians. My family has land there and I need to research it.
