Question: What exactly is Hawaiian poi!? Does it taste as nasty as I've heard ( like glue) & where in the SF bay area is
it available!? I read today on Yahoo Q/A that its a great source of protein, and I wonder how you would prepare it!? It it comparable to tofu, which I like!? also, how much of it on a weekly basis would you want to eat!? This is not for weight building, but for health purposes!. Is it naturally salty, like celery is!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

It is taro root pounded into a paste!. The first AND LAST time I had it was about 38 years ago!. I could only take one small sample!. It is nasty!. I also live in the SF bay area, and don't know where you can buy it!. Honestly, I really haven't been looking for it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
