When it comes to Hawaiian cuisine, pineapple is one of the most beloved and versatile island favorites. Much of its beauty comes from the fact that, despite its spiky exterior and distinctive crown, the golden flesh inside is some of the sweetest and most mouth-watering fruit you can find. Instead of simply cracking a pineapple open and feasting, Hawaiian visitors should experience the fruit in one of the many unique and delicious ways the islanders do.

3 Local Pineapple Treats

1. Cubed Pineapple with Li Hing Mui

Li Hing Mui is a popular snack that was originally imported from China in the early 1900s. This dried plum has a complex taste, and while it may take a few bites to get used to, you won’t want to stop once you do. When its powdered form is paired with fresh pineapple cubes, the various Li Hing Mui’s flavors — a diverse palate consisting of sweet, sour, salty, and tangy — mix to create a delicious combo. 

2. Dehydrated Pineapple

Perfect for fruit-lovers on the go, dehydrated pineapple is definitively one of the best dried fruits available. The juicy flesh of the pineapple is shrunken down and dried out, leaving a chewy and super-sweet treat. It’s such a delight that you’ll swear you’re snacking on candy instead of a healthy fruit packed with vitamins and natural sugars!

3. Pineapple Soft Serve

You might think it can’t get any better than lounging about on a gorgeous Hawaiian beach with the sun shining down, but there’s one deliciously refreshing treat that can take the experience to the next level — pineapple soft serve. This wonderfully creamy and sweet treat is a favorite of many islanders and takes everything you love about soft serve ice cream and pairs it with the sweet and tart flavors of pineapple.
