A local company known for its banana soft serve is being recognized by PETA.

The animal rights group recently announced its top 10 picks for vegan ice cream sundaes in the U.S., and Banan scooped up a spot with its papaya bowls.

“We love Banan’s papaya boat,” said Marissa Price, PETA. “It’s dishware that you can eat and use to either help feed local pigs or generate compost for local gardens and farms, so you really can’t get better than that.”

The local chain uses only fruits and veggies to create its ice creams, and offers toppings such as puffed quinoa, granola, and coconut.

Banan has three locations on Oahu: a storefront on University Avenue, a beach shack on Kalakaua Avenue in Waikiki, and a food truck on Monsarrat Avenue near Diamond Head. Click here for more information.

Rounding out PETA’s list is the iconic Sublime Restaurant and Bar in Fort Lauderdale and Christopher’s Kitchen in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida; Crossroads and KindKreme in Los Angeles; Sweet Ritual in Austin, Texas; Boston’s Veggie Galaxy; Virtuous Pie in Portland, Oregon; Denver’s SNOWLAB; and The Cookie Counter in Seattle.
