Piko Provisions Launches New Stage 3 Purées, Expanding Nutritious, Hawaiʻi-Grown Options for Growing Families

The new Stage 3 line features thoughtfully crafted flavors including Luʻau Stew, Palaʻai Pie, and Pitaya Bowl, each made with whole, locally sourced ingredients such as kabocha squash, banana, taro, and other island-grown produce. Formulated to meet or exceed global nutritional recommendations for early childhood development, the recipes deliver higher protein and healthy fat content while maintaining smooth, satisfying textures suitable for both toddlers and adults seeking clean, nutrient-dense fuel.

Developed in collaboration with the Wahiawā Value-Added Product Development Center (WVAPDC), the new line reflects a shared commitment to strengthening Hawaiʻi's food system and increasing access to high-quality local foods for families across the islands and beyond.

"At Piko Provisions, our goal has always been to nourish families while uplifting local farmers and honoring the ingredients grown here at home," said Ethan West, Founder and CEO of Piko Provisions. "Our new Stage 3 purées represent the next step in that journey—foods that are delicious, nutrient-dense, and designed for real life. We're proud to bring these flavors to market in partnership with incredible local collaborators who share our vision for a more equitable and regenerative food future."

Product development for the new line was led in partnership with WVAPDC's innovation team to ensure both culinary quality and nutritional integrity.

"I'm incredibly honored to collaborate with Piko Provisions to develop flavors that celebrate Hawaiʻi's unique foodways. Working with ingredients sourced directly from local farms, we created the new Stage 3 line that delivers little ones bold, adventurous flavors with exceptional nutritional profiles. This collaboration represents our shared commitment to Hawaiʻi's food systems and community. Bringing these concepts to life has been one of the most meaningful product development projects of my career."
