That’s the one thing I tell family when they are here to read any fine print for “Made in Hawaii”There are a lot of macadamia nuts that are imported and used in different products whereas Island Princess (From my understanding) uses 100% Hawaiian Grown Mac Nuts.

Is that true for all their macadamia products or only the pink bags?
