Uses and Culture

USES

  • A staple food originally brought by the early Polynesians settlers. Corms are mashed and eaten like mashed potatoes, called Po'i. Other parts of the plant are also edible when cooked.

  • Purple/red dye made from the sap of the poni kalo

  • Single most important food plant to Polynesians, early Hawaiians grew 300 varieties, mainly grown for poi production. Poi is produced by steaming (in an underground oven or imu), then mashing and adding water. Also used in religious rituals, as medicine, as bait for 'opelu fishing, for gluing kapa pieces together, & as a red dye for kapa (Handy et al. 1972:111–117).

  • There are numerous varieties of kalo, some if which are favored over others in medicinal treatments. These include kalo lauloa, kalo ‘api‘i, kalo mana, kalo hāpu‘u ke‘oke‘o, kalo uahiapele, kalo manini,kalo ‘apuwaike‘oke‘o, kalo haokea mana, and kalo pi‘iali‘i (Chun 1994:134). Abbott notes that the cut end of a petiole used to stop wounds from bleeding; stem leaf rubbed on insect bites to prevent swelling & pain; juice consumed to reduce fever. Only uncooked flesh of corm was used in medicines. Raw scrapings from kalo corms were mixed with the juices of kō(sugarcane, Saccharum officinarum) and other plants, the mixture then pounded, and the juices squeezed out for ingestion (Abbott 1992:101).

  • Cooked, mashed kalo combined with coconut cream to make kulolo

  • Corms and leaves are cooked

  • Kapu for women

CULTURE

  • origin myth in Kumulipo

  • Kinolau of Kāne

PROPAGATION/CULTIVATION

  • Historically cultivation and preparation was solely handled by men, but women were allowed to eat taro
