The pork is seasoned with sea salt and often wrapped in banana leaves, creating a tender, smoky flavor that’s truly unique. Originating from the islands of Hawaii, Kalua Pig is a staple at luaus and celebrations. While it’s rich and indulgent, offering a mouthwatering blend of fats and protein, it’s also high in sodium. Enjoyed in moderation, this flavorful dish brings a taste of Hawaiian culture right to your plate.
