Hawaiian Giant Poha Berries are small, orange-yellow, sweet, tropical berries with a history that can be traced back to the Incan Empire. The golden berries grow to 1-inch in diameter and are encased in a calyx that dries papery beige. These berries have a unique taste, like a cross between pineapples and green grapes that people around the world love.
