HPC Foods Ltd.<\/a>, the state’s foremost taro processor, and its Taro Brand<\/a> products have long been well-known names in Hawaii’s food industry.<\/p>\n

Founded in 1946 by Kakuichi Tottori as a small poi milling operation called Honolulu Poi Company, the business has grown from three employees to become one of the state’s largest poi manufacturers and a leader in the development of taro products.<\/p>\n

Since the company entered the market of growing sprouts in the 1960s, it has become the largest “sprouter” in Hawaii.<\/p>\n

Four generations of Tottori families later, you’ll find the familiar Taro Brand<\/a> logo on bags of fresh bean, broccoli and clover sprouts as well as salad mixes and cut vegetables in local grocery stores across the Islands.<\/p>\n

Taro Brand<\/a> products will be among the featured companies at the 20th annual Made in Hawaii Festival Aug. 15-17 at Neal S. Blaisdell Exhibition Hall and Arena.<\/p>\n

Look for them at the festival’s inaugural New Product Showcase for first-time festival exhibitors in the Pikake Room.<\/p>\n

The festival features Hawaii-made food products, apparel and jewelry, art, and other goods from nearly 400 vendors across the state.<\/p>\n

Cooking demonstrations by some of Hawaii’s favorite chefs and entertainment by award-winning musicians also take place throughout the three days.<\/p>\n

From power smoothies to stew, poi is a healthy and versatile food for local appetites.<\/p>\n

For a refreshing summer breakfast or after-dinner treat, Honolulu Poi Company offers a simple and tasty twist on the traditional parfait!<\/p>\n

Poi, the fermented paste of the tuber of the taro plant, is a sacred and ancient life-giving food.<\/p>\n

Taro is hypoallergenic, gluten-free, very nutritious and considered to be a beneficial carbohydrate that provides a high fiber, slow-release energy source.<\/p>\n

Poi is rich in calcium, potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, a good source of B vitamins, and contains vitamins A and C, minerals, and a small quantity of high-quality, easily digestible protein.<\/p>\n
