We are reaching the end of this trip to Hawaii with the last group of visitors (Todd, Jess, Porter) just arriving. We have made multiple visits to farmers' markets throughout the island, but I thought I could offer something unique about this trip.
The local farmers can't compete with COSTCO, but they have unique produce, and visitors appreciate the opportunity to buy local. You do have to watch out for resellers who offer pineapples and other products from COSTCO.
The following fruit are Mangosteens. These are considered the "Queen of Fruit" and are very expensive (about $3). You eat them by popping off the cap and removing the small white sections found within that are arranged like the sections of an orange. The sections may or may not contain a pit. Like most unique fruits I have tried here, they must be an acquired taste. I like the apples bananas, tangerines, and oranges. The oranges often look ugly, but taste great if you can handle the high juice content, which makes them messy to eat.
