Hawaiian Culture

 

            



               Hawaiian cuisine has five distinct styles of food that reflect it's history of the Hawaiian Islands. Native Hawaiian people settled in the area, they fished, raised taro for poi, planted coconuts, sugarcane, sweet potatoes and yams, and cooked meat and fish in earth ovens. As pineapple and sugarcane plantations grew, so did the demand for labor, bringing many immigrant groups to the Islands between 1850 and 1930. Few edible plants existed (aside from ferns) and fruits grew at higher elevations. Taro is and was one of the most important used plants, and the poi made from it was the staple food of Hawaii.
