These are especially good from stores that make their own. :-) (can you tell I'm a crack seed junkie? I'm eating a red li hing mui as I type!)CABhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05660061008362643491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757350942807174715.post-34889393434267595012011-12-09T07:33:40.344-08:002011-12-09T07:33:40.344-08:00LOL! Most preserved fruits don't have cracked seeds, which is good cuz those little pieces of seed are annoying. My favorite is Tourist Plum (mostly sweet with a touch of salty, moist kind) but the li hing mui ones (especially the mango) are pretty good. Preserved seafood are also very good too.CABhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05660061008362643491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757350942807174715.post-27475894835438007912011-12-08T17:08:33.725-08:002011-12-08T17:08:33.725-08:00Crack seed appears to be a kind of Chinese preserved fruit candy that is popular in Hawaii. The name comes from the fruit being "cracked" open exposing the seed. Or so google tells me... :-)Mikehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13599208082890099005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757350942807174715.post-83024295893730514892011-12-08T16:14:53.508-08:002011-12-08T16:14:53.508-08:00What is crack seed?Allisonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11917160096379484374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757350942807174715.post-6608844432726780532011-12-08T13:33:22.782-08:002011-12-08T13:33:22.782-08:00Hi James - you and me both!

Poipu is our favorite place in Hawaii (well, next to Honolulu but then I'm a bit biased). Look at that beautiful sunset. Love any alcohol drink made with POG! Try any crack seed while you were there?CABhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05660061008362643491noreply@blogger.com
