~What others have to say about our products~

"The taroburger is an exceptional food product. It is especially tasty and healthful and I can hardly imagine a product that has more potential. Its nutritional characteristics are far more healthful than the usual burger type food! Try it and you'll be surprised how good it is."

"Taro burgers are a delicious and highly nutritious food based upon Hawaiian grown taro root and leaves delectably combined with other healthful ingredients. I was fortunate to have had the opportunity to introduce taro burgers to kids when they were first developed in 1998. Kids love them and they provide a wonderful source of nutrients to people of all ages. Consumption of taro burgers promotes health. I would love to see them served in schools across the country, as well as at family meals."

"The Maui Taro Burger is a generous size patty that grills to a crispy outside and a moist tender inside. The ingredients are blended well and every component is fully cooked. No tough grains or seeds, yet the patty still reveals the purplish hues of the nutritious root. Hawaii Taro Company also uses the luau or leaf of the taro, making this unique burger variation, even more nutritious.
The patty holds its shape, and even cold after a couple of hours maintains the desirable characteristics for my palate: crispy on the outside and still moist and tasty on the inside. Clearly a winner in flavor and nutrition."

Hi Robert!
I'm a close friend and colleague of Antonia's and had the pleasure of experiencing one (well actually, I ate two!) of your taro burgers when I had lunch at her home recently and I must tell you, it (they) was (were) delicious!!!!....I am not vegetarian completely....yet.....I still enjoy a buger now and then but would not need to eat a meaty burger if I could get my hands on one of your taro burgers!!!!....Will they be available on the mainland any time soon?....I'd love to eat more often in your beautiful state but am not fortunate enough to have a way to spend time there very often...So I'd love to find a way to have a little bit of Hawaii here!!!
Sincerely,
With aloha,
Tish
