This podcast is sponsored by House of Macadamias. True fact, macadamias have long been my favorite nut and my harvest snacks always include macadamias because they taste great and they're a perfect fast snack.
I've now learned that they have more healthy fats, the monounsaturated fats, than both olive oil and avocados. With 27% fewer grams of carbs and almonds, they're a fantastic low-carb keto and vegan snack.
I think we checked all the boxes there. House of Macadamias sent me a pack of their macadamia options and the basic dry roasted nuts with sea salt. So definitely my favorite. My kids crushed the snack bar so quickly that I had to hide the box.
I was also loving the Caramel Mocha Bru bars that each contain 50 mg of caffeine for you coffee heads.
As a macadamia fanboy, I've been plagued by packs that have riddled by rancid nuts. House of Macadamias has partnered with 94 independent farmers in South Africa and the largest macadamia producer in the world, which gets them access to the highest quality nuts in the region.
All of the macadamia products I tried were delicious and they explained to me their process for ensuring freshness. Listeners of Inside winemaking can get a free snack bar multi-pack, free shipping, and 15% off with subscriptions.
