Lūʻau (food)
Lūʻau, luʻau, laulau, lū, rourou, rukau, fāfā, hāhā, and palusami are all related dishes found throughout Polynesia based on the use of taro leaves as a primary ingredient. While taro generally is known as a root vegetable for its starchy corms, the leaves (and stems) are consumed as well.
