Waipiʻo-grown, farm-fresh, and locally crafted by students!
At KMS Ag Products, our mission is to provide high-quality, farm-fresh kalo-based products while educating our community about the cultural, health, and economic benefits of supporting local agriculture.
🌀 Why Kalo?
Kalo is deeply rooted in Hawaiian culture and tradition, carrying the story of Hāloa and serving as a nutritious, versatile staple in local diets. By offering fresh kalo products, our student entrepreneurs are not only preserving this legacy but also filling the high demand for quality, locally sourced kalo.
Why is Poi Important?
🌿 Cultural Significance – Poi is deeply rooted in Hawaiian history and tradition, symbolizing the connection to Hāloa, the first ancestor of the Hawaiian people. It has been a nutrient-rich staple food for centuries.
💪 Nutritional Benefits – Poi is high in fiber, vitamins, and easily digestible carbohydrates, making it an excellent food for all ages, especially babies and those with dietary sensitivities. It is gluten-free, dairy-free, and hypoallergenic.
How is Poi Enjoyed?
🥄 Fresh Poi – Often eaten on its own, sometimes mixed with a little sugar for sweetness.
🍽️ With Meals – Traditionally paired with kalua pig, laulau, lomi salmon, and other Hawaiian dishes.
🔄 Fermented Poi – As poi sits, it develops a tangy flavor that many locals love!
Poi is not just food—it is Hawaiian culture in every bite!
