Hawaiian Grown "Hamachi Ceviche with Kunia Watermelon Salsa"

Ceviche has been known to be a popular dish in the Caribbean that uses fish and a host of other seafood that is marinated in a citrus based dressing which "cures" the proteins via the acid in the fruits of choice. This firms the texture of the seafood and also gives it a big burst of flavor. We interpret this method in our own Hawaiian Grown way and add an unusual but brilliantly delicious star to the ceviche's profile, Kunia watermelon from Aloun farms. Broke the mouth! Delicious! Don't knock it until you try it!
Hawaiian Grown "Kunia Watermelon Cooler"

Let's face it, summer has been super hot! Given the fact that we live in Hawaii, it's actually hot all year 'round!

Try this non-alcoholic version at home for the kids, or spike it to make the adults relax and chill out.
Hawaiian Grown "Okra & Ewa Sweet Onions with Pupu Kine Sauce"

Plenty of people eat okra here in Hawaii. In fact it's surprisingly popular in many places, not just the south. Commonly known for it's ubiquitous presence in gumbo, okra is a tasty, nutritious & slimy vegetable used to flavor, add texture and thicken it's host dish. In this recipe, we use the the same sauce that the "Pupu Kine Edamame" used, but added some other goodies to enhance flavor and texture. Once you get used to okra, you'll love it forever. Dont forget to say "pupu kine!"

Hanapa'a Sushi Company's "Spicy Ahi Donburi"

The results we quite interesting. 2 out of every 3 people chose spicy ahi! However, most of the same people that love spicy ahi, also love ahi poke as well...just not as much?

Hawaiian Grown Three Cabbage (Kai Choy, Savoy & Red) & Corned Beef with Savory Choice Beef Broth

Kai Choy is the Asian ethnic nickname of mustard cabbage. Most of us may reminisce its nostalgic flavor from our grandparents or parents days of yesteryear being pickled or served in saimin, pigs feet soup or oxtail soup. It takes a quick and friendly agricultural education to appreciate its versatility, unique flavor and local history. When you eat Kai-Choy it almost seems not closely relative to the cabbage family, or perhaps, maybe it tastes like a pungent-savory-super second cousin.
