Poke bowls (pronounced poh-keh) are a Hawaiian staple with roots in traditional Hawaiian cuisine, where fishermen would season freshly caught fish and serve it over rice. Today’s poke bowls blend island flavors with Japanese and Korean influences—think sushi meets salad—with endless ways to customize. Fresh, colorful, and packed with flavor, they’re basically edible art in a bowl.
Poke bowls are a fun, and creative way to eat your veggies. Variety is your friend and you can make them differently every time!
