Your Hawaii vacation is not complete without going NUTS!

Aloha From Hawaii!

To me, one of the best things about Hawaii, is the different types of foods you will encounter. Most are absolutely delicious, but there are some that make me cringe. But today, we will be discussing one particular food that Hawaiian's pride themselves for. The Hawaii Macadamia Nuts! Macadamia nuts are great, and they are in plenty of Hawaiian foods. My favorite is the Mac Nut Salad. Think potato salad, but instead of potatoes, it's made with macadamia nuts! Macadamia nuts have been part of the Hawaii culture for a long time, and used to be Hawaii's main food export. But as days go by, things change, and macadamia nut farms have slowly dwindled away. However, there is one Macadamia nut farm that flourishes on the Big Island, and to me, produces the absolute best tasting nuts this side of the ocean. Ahualoa Farms has been a large part of the Big Island farmers market for years now, making a name for themselves with the locals as the producers of the best tasting Hawaii Macadamia nuts. And now, they have opened up a brand new online store, so they can offer their tasty treats to the world. Move over Mauna Loa nuts...there's new macadamia nut competition, right in your back yard. I dare you to try their delicious chocolate covered macadamia nuts, and not want to finish the whole bag in one setting! Give it a try. Visit their new website today! And, if your ever staying in Hawaii vacation rentals on the Big Island, stop by their farm. They will give you a wonderful tour, as well as some free yummies! Mahalo. Next time, I will be talking about the different Islands of Hawaii, and what food each Island specializes in. Stay tuned.
