How to credit Hawaiʻi-grown Staples in Nutrition Programs
1/2 cup of ʻulu (breadfruit), kalo (taro), ʻuala (sweet potato), or palaʻai (pumpkin) credits as a vegetable in a vegetable subgroup OR 1 oz eq grain. This rule applies to both CACFP and NSLP/SBP standards.
Convenient, Delicious & Nutritious
Our frozen, pre-cooked ʻulu (breadfruit), kalo (taro), ʻuala (sweet potato), and palaʻai (pumpkin) offer nutritious, allergen-friendly options that are easy to prepare and perfect for large-scale meals. Just defrost, heat, and serve—no prep required.
We also offer ready-to-eat products including ʻulu hummus, chocolate mousse and minimally processed products like ʻulu flour & pancake mix.
Health & Well-being
You can easily add more vitamins and minerals to meals by replacing imported starches such as white rice with nutrient-packed Hawaiʻi-grown staples.
Our staples are gluten-free, full of fiber, and help blood sugar regulation.
Wilcox Medical Center
"Healthy local food systems are essential for building strong communities, which is a key initiative in Hawai‘i Pacific Health’s mission to create a healthier Hawai‘i,” says Jen Chahanovich, President and CEO of Wilcox Medical Center.
“Wilcox Medical Center is proud to partner with the Hawai‘i ‘Ulu Cooperative in strengthening our local food systems.”
Kamehameha Middle School
The culinary arts classes at Kamehameha Middle School in Hawaiʻi use ʻUlu Flour made with Hawaiʻi-grown Breadfruit. Replacing imported starches with Hawaiʻi-grown products led Kumu (teacher) DJ High to think about ways his culinary arts class could incorporate more produce from our ʻāina, which uncovered ways to integrate culture into the curriculum—not just teaching about traditional crops but the creation stories associated with them.
We’ve partnered with the Hawai‘i Farm to School Hui to create the Hoʻopili ʻAi Program, connecting keiki (children) with locally grown, culturally appropriate food crops. The program relies on donations from people like you. Donate here.
Local & Sustainable
Our Hawaiʻi-grown staples are grown with sustainable farming methods. You can meet your local procurement goals by incorporating our crops into your menu. We have the data management capacity to support robust reporting requirements and traceability from farm to institution.
