So, how exactly have poké bowls become so popular these days? It seems like over the past 10 years that the Hawaiian fast-casual style has been a big favorite of savvy restaurant patrons. We’d like to discuss why and show how it’s no temporary fad – poké bowls are here to stay!
Poké – One of the Healthiest Trends in the Restaurant Business
Poké comes from ancient Hawaiian fishermen who caught fresh fish, cut them into chunks, and mixed them with whatever veggies and fruit they could find. Out on the ocean, this included items like seaweed, which is amazingly nutritious and a part of our poké bowl offerings.
Poké bowls have come a long way since their humble beginnings in pre-colonial Hawaii. The most common centerpiece is tuna or salmon, but they come with literally dozens of other complementary ingredients. Also, if you’re one of those who likes to know the calories, carbs, and protein in your meals, you can determine all of that with our handy nutritional calculator.
