Poi, a traditionally fermented, culturally valuable food staple, is composed of small granules that are extremely digestible. Poi is traditionally and currently used for the prevention and cure of many health conditions and has been demonstrated to kill cancer cells in the body. Poi is also an excellent substitute for dairy, soy, grain and gluten products. The benefits of Poi in the alleviation of disease have been demonstrated scientifically, culturally and through many years of historical research.
