ʻO ka hapa nui o nā kānaka (38%) ua hui pūʻia e ka hui kokoʻelua. ʻO ia keʻano o ke kūmālie, ka palekana, ke kuhikahi, e like me ko lākou mau kūpuna i kahi noho kūpono. Pili koke lākou i ka hui, hana ikaika a hana ikaika. Hiki i ko lākou kino keʻae i ka hoʻololi o ka huliau, hoʻololi i nāʻano hou, akā,ʻaʻole i loaʻa kaʻanoʻano o ka genetic i kaʻaiʻana i ka meaʻai.
No nā kānaka me ka lua o ka hui koko, maikaʻi kaʻai meaʻai. Pono lākou eʻai i nā huaʻona, huaʻai (koe wale nā hua'alapona, nā niu a me ka maiʻa), nā lemu, nāʻanoʻano a pau. ʻO ka hua milū a me nā mea laʻa e kaupalenaʻia, akā hiki ke hoʻopaʻaʻia i nā hua i hanaʻia mai ka soy (soy milk, tofu). I kekahi manawa, hiki iāʻoe keʻai i nā iʻa (koe naʻe ka caviar, ka halihali, ka hānai a me ka iʻa - e hoʻokuʻu waleʻia lākou mai ka papa inoa). No ke kumu o ka protein, hiki iāʻoe keʻai i nā hua a me ka liʻiliʻi loa o ka pipi a me ka moa. Hiki iāʻoe ke inu i ke kofeʻeleʻele, ka'ōmaʻomaʻo, ka waina maloʻo maloʻo, a me nā huaʻai a me nā hua liʻiliʻi mai nā meaʻai i kūkuluʻia ma kou wahi.
ʻO kaʻaʻai no ka hui kokoʻelua e nānā i nā hiʻohiʻona o ka membrane mucous o ke kāpuni hema o nā kānaka me kēia koko. Ua pāpāʻia nā meaʻona momona, ka vineka, nā kuʻomaka a pau, ka mayonnaise, nā meaʻala. Maiʻai i nā iʻa paʻakai, nā kukama, nā'ōmato, kāpīpī, nāʻuala, nā meaʻai me kahi kiʻekiʻe o kaʻenehana, kokoke i nāʻanoʻaila (nā oliva a me ka pōkole e pau i nā palena liʻiliʻi). ʻO kaʻai no ka hui kokoʻelua e kūpono no nā kānaka me nā helu kūpono maikaʻi a maikaʻiʻole.
