Product Snapshot: From NACS 2019, MacFarms introduced its lineup of on-the-go confectionary snacks to partners in the convenience industry. Focusing on mindful indulgence, MacFarms combines the rich and buttery flavor of sustainably grown macadamia nuts with dark chocolate, caramel, and coconut candy coatings. In addition, the company is offering its more health-conscious options from Royal Hawaiian Orchards in single-serve packaging, featuring non-GMO and heart-healthy snacks for those looking to enjoy macadamia nuts in their more natural form.

As a good source of protein, macadamia nuts are more nutritious than traditional snacks, making them the perfect treat to curb any craving.

“We wanted to provide the convenience industry with a snack that allows customers to feel great about enjoying something that they love, while still feeling indulgent,” said K.C. Blinn, general manager of MacFarms. “All of our products are a great pick me up and packaged for people to enjoy on-the-go. We are excited to expand our product footprint to be available to more consumers, and are looking forward to gaining new distribution partners during NACS.”
