things people ask

• How many grams of poi are in a tablespoon?
  About 15 g for a level tablespoon. Poi is sticky enough that it tends to mound on the spoon rather than level cleanly, so a heaping tablespoon can climb to 20 g. For baby feeding, where portion size matters and the paste is often thinned with breast milk or formula, weighing the 15 g and then loosening it gives a more predictable starting point than eyeballing.
• Why would I add a tablespoon of poi to pancake batter?
  One tablespoon per cup of batter tints the pancakes a soft lavender-grey and adds a faint fermented tang that plays well with coconut, banana, or macadamia. It's a Hawaiian breakfast trick that doesn't fundamentally change the structure of the batter — at 15 g, poi is too small a fraction to throw off hydration, but enough to color the whole pour.
• Is a tablespoon of poi a reasonable baby food serving?
  Yes. Pediatricians and Hawaiian families have used poi as an early solid for generations because it's hypoallergenic, easy to digest, and gentle on infant stomachs. A tablespoon (15 g), thinned to a runnier consistency, is a typical first taste. Day-one poi is the mildest; sour three-day poi is usually held back until the baby is older.
