15 AAPI Women-Owned Food Brands You Need on Your Shopping List

If you thought butter only came in salted and unsalted, you've likely never heard of Liko Lehua tropical-fruit butter. Owned by Hawaiian entrepreneur Dawn Kānealiʻi-Kleinfelder, who took over the business from her Aunt Diane Kānealiʻi, Liko Lehua started out as a soccer-team fundraiser in 1996 and became a local delicacy. While the butters are now available nationwide, the brand still remains entirely family run and continues to use Hawaiian-grown products and all-natural ingredients.

Liko Lehua butters are available in seven flavors: Passion Fruit, Tahitian Lime, Vanilla, Guava, Mango, Pineapple, and Coconut. Liko Lehua Tahitian Lime Butter ($10) is a sweet and tart combination of lime and vanilla that works with spicy and savory foods like sautéed fish and burritos, as well as cheesecake and ice cream.
