This school year, Hawai‘i public schools are serving up new breakfast and lunch items that blend locally sourced ingredients with global flavors. The fresh dishes balance student favorites with innovative ideas inspired by food trends and student feedback. School menus emphasize Hawai‘i-grown ingredients such as ʻulu (breadfruit), kalo (taro), ʻuala (sweet potato), beef, pork, and seasonal fruits and vegetables. These efforts align with the Department’s farm-to-school initiative and Act 175, which support student health while strengthening local agriculture. Students and families can check their school cafeteria menus for the new menu offerings listed below.
