Pala‘ai (Squash)

Our pala'ai is made recipe-ready for your convenience in the kitchen- providing farm-fresh and pre-washed, chopped, steamed and frozen squash chunks packed in resealable 5-pound bags that are ready to go when you need 'em! 

Heirloom, Hawai‘i-grown winter squash or pumpkin (palaʻai) is sweet and nutty, rich in vitamins and nutrients, and delicious roasted, grilled, in stews and stir-fries, or puréed in mashes, soups, pies, and desserts!

Many of our small, family farmers grow a mix of sweet, tender Japanese squash varieties as a sustainable ground cover between their ‘ulu trees. Our winter squash has an edible forest-green rind and bright orange flesh that adds color and flavor to both sweet and savory dishes.  

See how Hawai‘i farm to table chef and author Sarah Burchard of The Healthy Locavore uses our pala’ai by perusing her mouthwatering recipes in our squash recipes page or see Hawaiian squash recipes below.
