The kukui tree is a large, leafy, flowering tree that is indigenous to Hawaii and other tropical regions worldwide. The tree produces large nuts with seeds that are abundant in nutritive oil.

The kukui tree has a fascinating history that includes its recognition and reverence as the state tree of Hawaii. The nuts are often referred to as candlenuts because they have a traditional history of being strung and lit as candles due to their high oil content and ability to burn and produce light.

Our Kukui Nut Oil is cold pressed from kukui nuts that are sourced from Europe. The oil is then refined, bleached and deodorized to produce a pale yellow oil with minimal aroma and beautiful texture. It is handled, stored and packaged to maintain the purity, freshness and beneficial properties of this extraordinary oil.

Uses:

“I've been a FNWL customer for years and the company just gets better and BETTER!”

“I've been a FNWL customer for years and the company just gets better and BETTER! Great customer service, feedback is respected, durable packaging, fast delivery, and high quality, extensive product variety. I'm so glad FNWL exists and pleased that it continues to do well. And I like that it's owned by a family and not a big conglomerate. There are many more companies now than when I first began ordering that provide similar products, but I'm very happy with my sure bet. Everyone whom I've recommended FNWL to has remained repeat customers, too.”
