Enjoy this set of six notecards by Maui native Shelley Pellegrino featuring kalo grown on her family’s farm in Waikapū, Maui. Kalo (Colocasia esculenta), also called taro, is a large-leafed canoe plant brought to Hawaiʻi by Polynesians long ago. It is the staple food of Native Hawaiians. Hawaiʻi once had over 400 varieties of kalo. Te corm is steamed and punded into paʻiʻai. Native Hawaiians believe that kalo is their elder brother, named Hāloanakalaukapalili. Kalo continues to be an important food source in Hawaiʻi.
