Cultural or Historical Background

Polynesian cuisine is diverse and influenced by various cultures and geographies. The Paleo diet, on the other hand, emphasizes whole foods and avoids processed items, which originated as a way to emulate the eating habits of our early human ancestors. Combining these two elements creates a unique and delicious culinary experience.
