Poi
Legend lends the story of how Hawaiians came to be: taro. Its product, poi, is sacred, and always revered as such.
"Poi, the traditional Hawaiian staple, is a starch dish made by pounding boiled taro roots and mixing with water until it reaches a smooth consistency."
To some, it is an acquired taste. To all, it is the breath of life.
