Fun Facts About Hawai’i

"Aloha" is an expression that encompasses love, affection, peace, compassion, and mercy and is fundamental to Hawaiian culture. It is a greeting, a farewell, and an expression of goodwill.

The state food of Hawaii is "poi", a traditional Hawaiian staple made from the underground stem of the taro plant, which can cause serious problems if eaten raw.
