Pa'i'ai is steamed taro root, peeled and scraped of all black spots and impurities. This prevents souring and spoilage. A stone (pohaku) is used to pound it into a thick, smooth mass that has a long shelf life. Ancient Hawaiians were able to use this staple food when travelling on long trips in their canoes. Very little water is used to prevent fermentation. Commercial poi is thinner and has more water.

A fascinating display of ancient techniques that have ever increasing importance in our self-sustainability, from farm to table!
I was born and raised up in Kahaluu on waihe’e by Key Project. I wish learned something like this when I was younger. Hopefully one day I still will
That's where we were, Hamama Church grounds. Pastor Ikaika mentors many kids. Ask if you can sit in sometime
Give a donation as it's a lot of work to set up.
Good addition to the archives.

Beautiful video, good to know another culture. Thanks for sharing my friend. Stay safe stay healthy and stay connected 🎁🤝🇺🇸. Hope to see you return dear.
I went to Hawaii as I have lots of family and friends there. I wanted my ohana to familiarize themselves with our culture. I moved to Vegas 3 years ago. Not many kids know about the old ways.
Hi Hawaii’s Pickle Lady! This was great to feature on your channel! Were you invited to go to Kaniala’s lo’i with your family? I would love to take my kids and let them experience what you showed here.
Hi, I met Kaniala through Pastor Ikaika Higa of Hamama Church where we did the poi pounding. I took my granddaughter before to learn so I asked Pastor if my ohana could learn so there were about 12 of us. Pastor arranged everything and Kaniala was appointed to teach. It was a wonderful experience everyone will never forget. They didn't ask for money but I felt led to give a generous donation.
💖😋👍🏽
Not da roots but the corm which between the stem and the roots.
The corm is the root. Look it up.
It is the underground stem.
