Find Food & Frolic.
Ling hing mui is a powder made of dried, salty plums. It is used, in Hawaii, to flavor preserved or dehydrated fruits and treats known as crack seed. 100% of the crack seed treats I have found for sale in Hawaiian shops contain aspartame and artificial red food coloring among other chemical ingredients. When I found Grandpa Mui’s all natural (both a red version colored with carmine and a white vegan version with no coloring) on OnoPops, I knew I’d have to try making my own crack seed style treats. Oddly enough, a month or two later, a small sample of the same powder came in my Makana box. 🙂
I tossed these almonds in Maui Preserved’s Pineapple Cane Syrup and a little cane sugar. I added some gold pineapple that I dehydrated at home, plus some of Grandpa Mui’s magic.
