Poi has a paste-like texture and a delicate flavor, with a pale purple color that derives from that of the taro corm. The flavor changes distinctly once the poi has been made. Fresh poi is sweet and edible all by itself.
It really doesn't taste like any other thing I can think of. Of course the closest thing is what it is made from, taro root. Taro root is to poi, as a potato is to mashed potato (taste wise).
