| Description |
These flooded taro field, called kalo lo'i, are an ancient way of life in Hawaii. Taro is grown year round on Kauai and it takes 6 months for a crop to mature. Because taro was the main staple of the ancient Hawaiian people and helped them to survive for hundreds of years, it has a cultural and even religious significance to Hawaiians. The corm, or underground part of the stem, is cooked and mashed into a smooth starchy food called poi. Most of the Taro in Hawaii is grown on the north shore lands near Hanalei in Kauai. This viewpoint is from Highway 56 senic turnoff. |
