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. Either way, explore this vegetable that commands a mature palate, provides tons of anti-oxidants and makes your mouth water for local style saimin! Hawaiian Grown Kai-Choy, not just another unknown or forgotten cabbage thanks to friendly farmers like Owen Kaneshiro from Owen K Kaneshiro farms.

We visited our friend Mit of Aloun Farm's, who credits the sweet corns high-sugar content to the nutrient rich soil found only in select areas of the Kunia plains. In this Hawaiian Grown original recipe, we use Aloun Farm's Ewa sweet corn in a simplified version of the southern classic dish; succotash, with a Pacific-Asian profile.

Mostly everyone in Hawaii has eaten tofu in one form or another. Many brands are from the mainland or even Japan. However a few local brands are available and are amongst the most popular.

Thanks to Mr. Mao Tzeng, the owner of Mrs. Chengs Tofu, hes keeping the traditional products and quality of tofu making alive during a highly competitive market.
