| These poi pounders are replicas of the stone carved tool used to pound kalo or taro root. Poi, the staple of the traditional Hawaiian diet, is made from taro, an ancient root crop grown throughout the islands. Hawaiians made poi by mashing cooked, peeled taro root with a stone pestle, or poi pounder. Water was added until the poi was smooth and sticky. The poi was then allowed to age and ferment, acquiring a sour tang. The term one, two and three finger poi refers to the consistency. The thicker the poi, the fewer fingers needed to eat it.
You may not be able to pound poi with these wonderfully hand-crafted ceramic replicas, but it will be a welcomed addition to your Hawaiian keepsake collection.
