Pregnancy guidance

Recommended

Poi is safe and highly recommended during pregnancy. It provides easily digestible complex carbohydrates, potassium, calcium, and dietary fiber while being completely hypoallergenic. Traditional preparation involves thorough steaming of taro to neutralize irritating calcium oxalate crystals, followed by beneficial fermentation. Enjoy fresh poi as a soothing, gentle energy source, especially if you experience morning nausea or digestive sensitivity.
