Poi

Pounded Kalo

Stage 1 · First tastes — single ingredient, smooth

Traditional Hawaiian nourishment, now in a pouch. This gentle, light-purple staple is made from pounded kalo — the root vegetable also known as taro. Better known as poi, it's easy on baby's belly and naturally rich in fiber, with more than you'll find in a potato. It also delivers iron and calcium to help build strong bones and teeth.

A note on taste: ours runs a touch more tart than the poi you might be used to. We add a small amount of lemon juice concentrate, which gives it a brighter, tangier finish — a flavor many babies take to.

We source all of our poi from Kākoʻo ʻŌiwi, a community organization restoring the loʻi kalo (taro terraces) of Heʻeia, Oʻahu. Every pouch supports their work to revive Native Hawaiian farming traditions and the lands that have nourished these islands for generations.
