Along with D. poha, blades of D. antarctica are used to make traditional pōhā bags, which are used to carry and store food and fresh water, to propagate live shellfish, and to make clothing and equipment for sports. [40] [41] [42] Pōhā are especially associated with Ngāi Tahu and are often used to carry and store muttonbird (tītī) chicks.

[6] [7] Specimens of D. antarctica have been found to float for up to 210 days, during which time high wind speeds transport kelp rafts up to 10,000 km. [6] [7] Environmental factors such as temperature, solar radiation and surface winds (all of which vary with latitude) affect buoyancy of southern bull kelp rafts and their rate of travel. [6]
From Ina Garten and Stanley Tucci to newer faces like Tineke “Tini” Younger and Nara Smith, 2024 was filled with good food and even better company. A few recipes stood above the rest, though.
