| Large jars of Li Hing Mui at Crack Seed Center |
Huh?
Well, the description is no more confusing than a discussion about "seeds."
Li Hing is a red powder that is often sprinkled on food, more specifically, on fruits. Originally from China, li hing mui means traveling plum. Mui is also a Hawai'ian word meaning assembled, gathered together. So Li Hing Mui dried mango could be described as the assembly of dried fruit and plum powder. Wikipedia offers a thorough description: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Li_hing_mui
This is a local advertisement for Li Hing Mui:
It is not just nostalgia that keeps sending customers back for more. The Crack Seed Center, one of Hawaii's most popular crack seed retailers for over 40 years, has created new products, expanding its traditional Li Hing Mui offerings to include Li Hing Mui Mangoes (wet), Li Hing Mui Mango (Dry), Li Hing Mui Guava, Li Hing Mui Gummy Bears ...
... well, you get the picture.
I'm certainly not paid to advertise for them, but the owner of Crack Seed Center at Ala Moana Shopping Center in Honolulu did allow me to take photographs inside his store!
Li Hing Mui dried plums have gained popularity in bars where locals drop the dried fruit into their mugs of foaming beer. Whichever product you try, I'm sure you'll delight in the experience of its tangy, sweet, and sour flavor. Have you experienced a similar product?
