As you prepare for your trip to Molokai, you’ll probably spend many hours daydreaming about the idyllic vacation to come. However, have you given any thought to how you’ll eat while enjoying your vacation rental? With a kitchen to call your own, you’ll have total control over your meals and the luxury to commit to a sustainable diet. Here are a few reasons why you should adopt this diet while in Molokai.

3 Reasons to Eat Sustainably at Your Molokai Vacation Rental

1. Choose From a Variety of Options Year-Round

Molokai provides all the necessary elements for bountiful harvests, including a sunny forecast, warm temperature, consistent humidity, and rich soil. Due to these ideal growing conditions, it’s easy to eat a diet that mainly consists of foods grown on the island. Although winter brings more rain than other seasons, there isn’t a dormant agricultural period in Hawaii. Fresh, local food can be grown and enjoyed year-round.

2. Enjoy Fresh Foods & Beverages

Unlike the corn and potato farms on the mainland, the foods grown on Molokai and the surrounding islands are refreshingly unique. As you relax in your vacation rental, you can snack on delicious tropical produce, like bananas and pineapples. From taro and mushrooms to macadamia nuts, you won’t have trouble finding vegetables and protein sources, too. If you love to have a morning cup of coffee or tea, you can drink sustainably by enjoying beverages brewed from locally grown beans and leaves.

3. Experience More Energy on Vacation

When you fill-up on Molokai-harvested foods, you’ll feel refreshed, invigorated, and ready to make the most of your time on the island. Locally grown foods typically contain few preservatives, as they don’t need to travel thousands of miles from the mainland to the neighborhood grocery store. By eating sustainably, you’ll avoid sulfites, which can worsen asthma symptoms when you explore outdoors. You’ll also steer clear of butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA). This chemical compound is a common food additive that’s difficult for the body to process, and it can alter the system responsible for your mood.

If you plan to eat sustainably while visiting Molokai, make sure you have enough kitchen space to prepare your delicious meals.
