What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? The Next Step: Li Hing Pineapple! Talk to any adult who is native to Hawaii and you’ll discover a craze from their youth. It’s Li Hing Mui, a powdered flavoring that can be sprinkled on anything from fruit to candy to popcorn, and even rimming the glasses of adult cocktails. No kidding. So what exactly is this mysterious flavoring, you wonder. Li Hing is plum powder made from dried plums. It has a combination of sweet, salty, and tangy taste. Local children love it on sour gummy worms or shave ice. Anything goes. One taste and you’ll find yourself giggling like a kid.

I was able to buy it in the Hawaiian Islands, but it’s also available on Amazon or in the Asian aisle of a superstore. 💜

I checked it on Amazon and all I could find are ones with aspartame sweetener and food dyes… Will keep on looking for something more natural. 🙂

I mentioned the aspartame as well, but the islanders seemed to Pooh-Pooh it.

I’m not that alarmed by sweeteners health risks and such, just never liked the taste, or rather, after taste it gives. Will keep looking. 🙂

Perhaps the Internet? We order our French butter from England every year and keep it frozen. We can’t live without it! 💕
