A Hawaiian relative of the blueberry, it grows only on high volcanic slopes. In Hawaiian tradition it belongs to the volcano goddess Pele, and the first handful was offered to her before picking.

Consumption tip

Even natural produce may carry pesticide residues. Wash fruits and vegetables under plenty of running water and discard the outer leaves of leafy greens. A short soak in vinegar water can also help reduce residues. Where possible, prefer certified organic or good-agricultural-practice products.
