In Hawai'i produce shipped from the mainland can come shrink wrapped, such as cabbage. But also there is a lot of local produce here, so it's easy to avoid that. I think mostly it's also the "Western" style to ship something all the way to Hawai'i when it is growing not too far from the store itself.. a lot of local people shop at stores like Safeway that stock shipped produce.. it's unfortunate but it seems to be cheaper.
