Best fruits in Hawaii

What are the best fruits to buy in Hawaii?

[Beryl]

My favourites are papaya, pineapple, guava and passionfruit!

 

Do try the fruit juice known as POG!

I have seen companies that offer Pineapple and Papaya shipping from Hawaii to the mainland, if that is what you mean. Anything that leaves has to go through inspection to ensure the integrity of the enviornment here....(i.e. no parasites, bugs etc). A place like Dole will pre-inspect and wrap for you to carry on the plane.

 

But as for being here and eating them....I visit my local Mango tree these days. But I cant get enough of the pineapple too. Aloun Farms on the Ewa side is producing the Thai watermelons right now.

I think this year is also good for Lychee. Yummmmmmm! :cool:

Don't forget that some fruits are seasonal. Mango and lychee are summer. Papaya and pineapple are year round. Not sure about guava and passionfruit - I think they're year round but don't hold me to it. :)

Fresh mango can't be beat. Like a cousin of a peach, flavor wise. Many people are allergic to the skin of the fruit. :cool:

Like My daughter....she gets covered in a rash if she goes to collect them. Lucky her, I have to prepare them for her.

 

Mmmmmm....mango salad, mango daqueries, mango salsa, etc.

I am too. My DW gets the job of cutting it up for me. ;)
