Li Hing Mui
The #1 snack food of Hawaii
Li Hing Mui is a Hawaiian island favorite and staple for many that is made from a sweet plum that has been pickled and dried in a combination of licorice, salt & sugar. The result is a mouth-watering, sweet, salty, sour treat; the Li Hing Mui seed or ground Li Hing Mui Powder.
Li Hing Queen takes that powder and other secret ingredients, and uses them to curate our delicious signature sauce. We then drench our sauce over existing candies and garnish them with sprinkles of sweet, candied, dried lemon!
We are so proud to introduce these island snacks to the mainland to share with you all. If you've never tried sweet Li Hing Mui, do your taste buds a favor and click that 'add to cart button'. We look forward to fulfilling your order soon.
Meet The Queen
Growing up in Kapolei, on Oahu, Li Hing Mui was a staple of my childhood. It was always in our home and soon my aunties started keeping a little stash for me whenever I would visit! I put it on everything and always had the stained orange fingers from dipping straight into the bag! As an adult, I never lost my love for Li Hing Mui. After leaving the islands, following high school, and being sent countless care packages from home, I decided it was time to bring my favorite snack over to San Diego, “Americas Finest City,” & what started out as a fun side hustle, has quickly developed into a Small Business! I am so excited to share Li Hing Queen with you all! Mahalo for all the support thus far.
