Kalo
A highly nutritious staple food considered sacred by Hawaiians, kalo was arguably the foundation of Hawaiian society and enabled a culture isolated in the middle of the Pacific Ocean to thrive. Until the early 19th Century, Maunawili Valley was considered the breadbasket of the whole Koʻolaupoko region of O‘ahu because of the prolific amount kalo that was cultivated there. Now with 23 kalo patches in production, Hoʻokuaʻāina is bringing this nutritious resource back to the community and helping to restore traditional agricultural systems in Kailua.
RAW KALO
Raw kalo is available daily for $3 per pound. Each order is harvested fresh Tuesday through Saturday. A few days notice is required.
TO ORDER: Send a text message to the KALO HOTLINE at 808-351-1666 with your name, total pounds of kalo, and your desired pickup date. Your order will be confirmed via text message.
