They're delicious in a boil up, hāngi, stir fry, stew, steamed or pickled.

Kamokamo was brought to New Zealand by early European settlers, but quickly became more popular with Maori.

Today it is still grown in many Maori communities using traditional practices such as planting in mounds, planting in kōanga (spring) at the new and full moon in accordance with the maramataka (moon calendar).

The aunties at Manaaki make a delicious kamokamo pickle.

(Thanks to Kuia Carey for these kamokamo).

This year Aotearoa New Zealand will acknowledge 250 years since the first onshore encounters between Māori and Europeans, with a national commemoration called Tuia – Encounters 250 (Tuia 250).

It's about what brought us together, the challenges we face and how we will weave our cultures and values into a future we will be proud to leave for the next generation.

Tuia 250 encourages kōrero, debate and reflection, and enable a more balanced telling of our stories, so that we speak openly and respectfully about our histories.

We will also recognise the extraordinary voyaging traditions and cultures of Te Moana Nui a Kiwa (the Pacific),and the feats of European explorers and the technology they developed.
