When you think of Hawaii, you might picture sun-drenched beaches, fragrant blossoms, and lush tropical orchards. At YaYa Hawaii, we bring a bit of that island magic to your snack bowl with our Exotic Dried Fruit collection: nine varieties of premium fruit, grown, harvested, processed and packaged right here in the islands.
Why Dried Fruit from the Islands?
Because sourcing, processing, and packaging locally means freshness, authenticity, and support for Hawaiian growers and processors. Every piece of dried fruit in our collection comes from Hawaiian-grown fruit. That means you’re tasting not only the flavor of the tropical fruit — you’re tasting the aloha, the soil, the sun, and the care that goes into each batch.
Meet the Line-Up
Here are the delicious options in our Exotic Dried Fruit collection:
-
Dragon Fruit – Vibrant pink, subtly sweet: an eye-catcher and snack you’ll love.
-
Lilikoi (Passion Fruit) – Tart and tropical, capturing that classic Hawaiian punch of flavor.
-
Guava – Smooth, fragrant, and full of that island character.
-
Jackfruit – Bold, sweet, with a tropical heft; a hearty snack.
-
Mango – A perennial favorite: soft, chewy, sweet-tropical perfection.
-
Young Coconut – A taste of the beach: mellow coconut, lightly sweet, all island vibes.
-
Pineapple – The signature Hawaiian fruit — tangy, sweet, cheerful.
-
Ginger – A twist: spicy-sweet, dried ginger slices, great for a snack with kick.
-
Hibiscus – Floral and unique: dried hibiscus petals/fruit that double as snack or infusion.
Each variety starts with fresh harvests from local farms. After picking at peak ripeness, the fruit is gently dried/preserved and packaged in Hawai’i. That means minimal travel, maximal flavor — and you get a snack that’s not just “exotic,” but authentically island-grown.
Why You’ll Love Them
-
Convenience meets tropical flair: No prepping, no mess. Just open the pouch, snack, and feel like you’re in the islands.
-
Real fruit, real flavor: Because the fruit is grown in Hawai‘i and processed locally, you get genuine flavor — not some distant fruit disguised as “tropical.”
-
Versatile snacking: Ready for a quick bite? Need something to pack in your beach bag? Want a flavorful accent in your morning oatmeal or tea? These work beautifully.
-
Good for you, naturally: Dried fruit retains much of the natural sweetness and nutrients of the fruit, with none of the frosting or heavy processing of some snack foods.
-
Support local: By choosing YaYa Hawaii’s dried fruit, you’re supporting local growers, processors, and packaging crews here in Hawai‘i. That’s aloha in action.
How to Enjoy Them
-
Simple snack: Grab a handful while you’re on the go — in your car, by the surfboard, or near your laptop.
-
Mix & match: Combine two or three varieties for a custom tropical trail-mix. Try pineapple + young coconut + mango for a “beach day” combo.
-
Teatime boost: Stir a few pieces of dried pineapple or mango into your cup of tea (say one of our tropical teas) for a flavor boost.
-
Breakfast upgrade: Sprinkle chopped dried dragon fruit or guava pieces over yogurt, oatmeal or smoothie bowls for an island touch.

Dessert accent: Use dried jackfruit or ginger slices as a garnish on desserts or pair with dark chocolate for something special.
