Ever eaten kamokamo?

Social Media Manager from Tuia 250 ki Tōtaranui

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).
