Product Description
The Ohi’a Lehua gets its name from the famous the Hawaiian legend, which tells the story of two faithful lovers: Ohi’a and Lehua. The handsome warrior Ohi’a caught the attention of Pele, the volcano goddess, but he had already pledged his love to Lehua, the most beautiful girl on the island. When Ohi’a refused Pele, she became furious and cursed Ohi’a, turning him into a twisted tree. This left Lehua heartbroken, and since the curse could not be reversed, the gods eventually took pity on her, turning her into a beautiful red flower and placing her on the tree so that the two lovers would never be apart again. This is why Hawaiian legend says to never pluck a lehua blossom, because when a flower is plucked from the tree, rain falls like tears since Lehua still cannot bear to be separated from her beloved husband Ohia.
This box contains a honey bear filled with Hawaiian honey made from the nectar of the Ohi’a Lehua flower, a native Hawaiian flower that grows over old lava. The Ohi’a Lehua is the official flower of the Big Island of Hawaii, making this honey truly a taste of the Island of Hawaii.
Our dried pineapple is made with absolutely no sugar, no preservatives, and no additives of any kind! It’s a healthy & natural snack made with only 1 ingredient: fresh Hawaiian pineapples. (It’s also packed in a resealable bag so you can enjoy the taste of pure tropical goodness anywhere.)
Our macadamia nuts are the cream of the crop, as we only pack and sell the top grade out of 8 grades of mac nuts. They are much larger than your typical macadamia nuts, and have a wonderful crunchy buttery taste because we roast them in small batches right before packaging.
A box of our dried pineapple dipped in 70% dark chocolate (box contains 3 wheels), and 1 dried pineapple wheel dipped in both dark & white chocolate are a tropical spin on the traditional chocolate dipped strawberries.
