Relocated and refurbished, the new Island Naturals in Hilo is a natural and organic superstore. About three times the size of the old location, this one offers a huge spectrum of natural and organic food and products. Bulk items, fresh produce, wine, spirits and beers are just some of the food on the shelves. A hot bar and salad bar offer awesome ready-to-eat dishes from breakfast through dinner. Hot coffee is always on tap, and freshly baked goods and snacks are also there to be enjoyed.

Located in the back of the store is a huge array of really good beers, many of which are organic,  some local and some imported. A vast selection of wines are also available. What's fun about Island Naturals is that there's a lot more to it than food. You can sample and purchase a large selection of beauty products as well has natural remedies. A limited amount of home decor such as incense burners, candles, candle holders and vases in a varied selection of colored glass can also be purchased here.

Island Naturals is the type of place where locals go, not only to shop, but to socialize and see each other. A moment in the store will reveal the true culture of the area and the rainbow of people who live there. In close proximity to other shopping and places to eat, Island Naturals is a must stop.
