Oil - macnut or locally derived coconut oil (can be bought at new store 
in Pahoa called "Young Coconuts" "Localvores" next to NY Pizza Restaurant).
Salt, it is preferred if you would use the Hawaiian clay salt, but even 
that uses clay from HI but sea salt from NZ, so we'll let that one slide 
- any sea salt.
Sugar can be from Maui.
