Kalo: Staple of Life for the Hawaiians |
Kalo, or taro, was the most important crop in old Hawai‘i . It was associated with the powers of the gods Kane and Lono and provided important food nutrients to Hawaiians. Growing kalo and preparing poi was a community activity that supported important cultural values. Kalo was central to the Hawaiian lifestyle in many ways. |
