When in Hawai’i remember to practice ‘Kuleana’: the responsibility, privilege and duty to learn and honor Hawai’ian culture. According to the Hawai’ian custom, kuleana is grantedto those who express a readiness and worthiness to undertake the responsibility of being among a native and most sacred land.
On the picturesque North Shore of O’ahu, where the swaying palms and salty breeze watch surfers’ shred, you find roadside treasures at every turn. Case in point: the Kakuku Land Farms fruit stands. From tangy pineapple to creamy mangos, the humble roadside stalls boast a variety of fresh, harvested fruits sourced from local farms. Our
favorite snack to stop for is the fried bananas or banana lumpia. Crunchy and sweet with a caramelized crust, we catch ourselves daydreaming about this budget-friendly bite often.
