Materials

1. Raw foods (e.g. Dalo, cassava, yams, sweet potatoes, taro leaves, etc.)

Dalo

Dalo corms

Dalo is also known as taro, and dasheen. Both the root and the leaves of the dalo are used in Pacific Island cooking. Dalo is a traditional staple in many tropical areas of the world, and is the base for making poi in Hawaii. The plant is actually inedible when raw because of needle-shaped members in the plant cells. Severe gastrointestinal distress can occur if the plant is improperly prepared for consumption.
