5 Ways to Use Li Hing Mui Powder

1. As a shave ice topping. No matter what flavors you choose, Li Hing sprinkled on top is a winner!! Check out our favorite shave ice spot Original Big Island Shave Ice Co. for a tasty treat. Their original fruit flavor syrups are the bomb!

2. Sprinkled on top of fruit. Li Hing Mui powder on top of pineapple, oranges, or really any fruit is to die for. If you haven’t tried it yet, you’re in for a treat. The saltiness of the Li Hing Mui really brings out the sweetness of the fruit. Seriously, a great combo.

3. Mixed with your favorite snack. Making popcorn? Sprinkle some Li Hing on that. Your imagination is your only limitation. We’ve seen it sprinkled on arare, cuttlefish, and even poke. Yes you heard that right, poke. If you're wondering what that tastes like, head on over to The Hub in Kalihi.

4. Make your own Li Hing flavored candy. We love Li Hing Gummy Bears, but when you buy them prepackaged there never seems to be enough Li Hing powder. That’s because the saltiness of the powder will turn gummy candy into a melted mess. If you make it yourself and eat it right away, that won’t be a problem. Go nuts and add as much powder as you like.

5. Li Hing Margaritas. No matter where you are, a Li Hing Margarita transports you back to Hawaii where waves are gently lapping at the shore and coconut fronds are rustling in the breeze. A nice twist on this classic is the Lilikoi Li Hing Margarita. Tart, sweet, and salty. Yum!

When making candy, say sour fruit strips or nerds candy mike & ike wtc, whats the best method to get it to “stick”? Spray little bit water? In Ohio and no, i cannot find lihing powder or any li hing treat, but my relatives on Oahu send care packages for xmas. Arare, haw flakes etc. Crack seed.
