Party Girl's 'Aloha Diet'
visits the remote Hawaiian Island of Molokai in preparation for the 2015
release of the new "Aloha Diet" book, and to learn how Macadamia
nuts, the world's healthiest nut, are grown, cultivated and roasted to
perfection using traditional tools and methods. Molokai Hawaii is home to some
seriously "ono" (delicious) Macadamia Nuts, which can be found
growing in the lush hills of Molokai at Purdy's Macadamia Nut Farm. Molokai is
the grand finale island on the Party Girl's Aloha Diet Discovery Tour, and one
of the 7 inhabitable Hawaiian islands visited for the purposes of learning more
about Hawaii's people, foods, and traditions that have earned Hawaii the
distinction of the U.S.A.'s "Healthiest State". Known as Hawaii's
"Friendly Isle," Hawaii's least visited island, and Hawaii's
"Most Hawaiian Island," the island of Molokai is rich in agricultural
beauty, bounty and mystical, spiritual history.

not use anything else to roast their Macadamia Nuts, including oils or
additional fats of any kind.
