Limu (algae)
Limu, otherwise known as rimu or imu (from Proto-Austronesian *''limut'') is a general Polynesian term for edible plants living underwater, such as seaweed, or plants living near water, like algae. In Hawaii, there are approximately one hundred names for kinds of limu, sixty of which can be matched with scientific names. Hundreds of species or marine algae were once found in Hawaii. Many limu are edible, and used in the cuisine throughout most of Polynesia. Uses Several species of limu are used as food throughout Polynesia and is typically eaten raw as accompaniment to meals, usually fish. In Hawaii, limu was seen as a major component of the Hawaiian diet alongside fish and poi. Hawaiians cultivated several varieties of seaweed for food as well as to feed fish farmed within fish ponds. As many as 75 types of limu were used for food, more than the 35 used in Japanese cuisine, which is also well known for its use of seaweed. In modern times, limu is often used as a condimen ...

Caulerpa Racemosa
''Caulerpa racemosa'' is a species of edible green alga, a seaweed in the family Caulerpaceae. It is commonly known as sea grapes (along with the related ''Caulerpa lentillifera'') and is found in many areas of shallow sea around the world. There are a number of different forms and varieties, and one that appeared in the Mediterranean Sea in 1990, which is giving cause for concern as an invasive species. Taxonomy There are about 75 species of ''Caulerpa''. Many of them exhibit polymorphism, showing different growth forms in different habitats which makes them difficult to identify. ''C. racemosa'', ''C. laetevirens'' and ''C. peltata'' form a species complex. A number of forms and varieties for ''C. racemosa'' are listed but further study is needed to clarify their exact phylogenetic relationships. Description A plant of ''C. racemosa'' consists of a number of branches linked to stolons which are anchored to the sandy substrate by rhizoids. The branches are a few centimetres ...

Waikiki Beach
Waikiki (; haw, Waikīkī; ; also known as Waikiki Beach) is a neighborhood of Honolulu on the south shore of the island of Oahu in the U.S. state of Hawaii. Waikiki is most famous for Waikiki Beach, which is one of six beaches in the district, along with Queen's Beach, Kuhio Beach, Gray's Beach, Fort DeRussy Beach and Kahanamoku Beach. Waikiki Beach is almost entirely man-made. There are beaches called Waikiki in other parts of the world, such as Tarragona (Spain), Western Australia (Australia), or Lima ( Peru). Waikiki (Hawaii) is home to public places including Kapiolani Park, Fort DeRussy, Kahanamoku Lagoon, Kūhiō Beach Park and Ala Wai Harbor. Waikiki was the first capital of the Kingdom of Hawaii from 1795 to 1796. Etymology The Hawaiian language name means ''spouting fresh water'', for springs and streams that fed wetlands that once separated Waikiki from the interior. History The area was a retreat for Hawaiian royalty in the 1800s who enjoyed surfing there ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
O‘ahu
Oahu () ( Hawaiian: ''Oʻahu'' ()), also known as "The Gathering Place", is the third-largest of the Hawaiian Islands. It is home to roughly one million people—over two-thirds of the population of the U.S. state of Hawaii. The island of O’ahu and the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands constitute the City and County of Honolulu. The state capital, Honolulu, is on Oʻahu's southeast coast. Oʻahu had a population of 1,016,508 according to the 2020 U.S. Census, up from 953,207 people in 2010 (approximately 70% of the total 1,455,271 population of the State of Hawaii, with approximately 81% of those living in or near the Honolulu urban area). Name The Island of O{{okinaahu in Hawaii is often nicknamed (or translated as) ''"The Gathering Place"''. It appears that O{{okinaahu grew into this nickname; it is currently the most populated Hawaiian Island, however, in ancient times, O{{okinaahu was not populous and was outranked by the status of other islands. The translation of ''"gathe ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Hypnea
''Hypnea'' is a genus of red algae, and a well known carrageenophyte (plant producing polysaccharide carrageenan). Taxonomy and Nomenclature ''Hypnea'' is a genus of red seaweed under class Florideophyceae, order Gigartinales, and family Cystocloniaceae. There are 99 species listed on Algaebase with 78 being accepted taxonomically. The genus was originally classified under family Hypneaceae, which was considered distinct from Cystoclonoiaceae on the basis of differences in their carposporophyte structure, and the shape of the thalli and cortical cells. Differences in carrageenan chemistry, with Hypneaceae species producing kappa-carrageenan and Cystocloniaceae producing lambda-carrageenan, was another reason for their distinction. However, these criteria were questioned and molecular analysis later showed that the two families had similar vegetative and reproductive characters. Furthermore, it was proven that lambda-carrageenan and kappa-carrageen coexist within the Gigartinal ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Liliʻuokalani
Liliʻuokalani (; Lydia Liliʻu Loloku Walania Kamakaʻeha; September 2, 1838 – November 11, 1917) was the only queen regnant and the last sovereign monarch of the Hawaiian Kingdom, ruling from January 29, 1891, until the overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom on January 17, 1893. The composer of " Aloha ʻOe" and numerous other works, she wrote her autobiography '' Hawaiʻi's Story by Hawaiʻi's Queen'' during her imprisonment following the overthrow. Liliʻuokalani was born on September 2, 1838, in Honolulu, on the island of Oʻahu. While her natural parents were Analea Keohokālole and Caesar Kapaʻakea, she was ''hānai'' (informally adopted) at birth by Abner Pākī and Laura Kōnia and raised with their daughter Bernice Pauahi Bishop. Baptized as a Christian and educated at the Royal School, she and her siblings and cousins were proclaimed eligible for the throne by King Kamehameha III. She was married to American-born John Owen Dominis, who later became the Governor o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Asparagopsis Taxiformis
''Asparagopsis taxiformis'', (red sea plume or limu kohu) formerly ''A. sanfordiana'', is a species of red algae, with cosmopolitan distribution in tropical to warm temperate waters. Researchers have demonstrated that feeding ruminants a diet containing 0.2% ''A. taxiformis'' seaweed reduced their methane emissions by nearly 99 percent. Lifecycle Like many red algae, ''A. taxiformis'' has a haplodiplophasic lifecycle, with each phase morphologically distinct. The species' haploid stage was initially described as ''Falkenbergia'' ''hillebrandii'' (Bornet) Falkenberg 1901 because it was thought to be a separate species. The resources which are needed for the red algae to continue to grow is very complicated. Culinary uses ''Asparagopsis'' is one of the most popular types of ''limu''. in the cuisine of Hawaii, it is principally a condiment. It is known as ''Limu kohu'' in the Hawaiian language, meaning "pleasing seaweed". ''Limu kohu'' has a bitter taste, somewhat reminiscen ...
