Mauna Loa has partnered with Heart of Los Angeles to donate 3,000 Mauna Loa Sea Salt macadamia snacks to children in the Los Angeles area.

Mauna Loa has partnered with Heart of Los Angeles to donate 3,000 Mauna Loa Sea Salt macadamia snacks to children in the Los Angeles area. The donation will take place on National Macadamia Nut Day on September 4.

The donation is intended to help raise awareness of the health benefits of the macadamia nut. "If your child is missing out on getting the nutritional benefits of nuts and seeds at school, consider adding macadamia nuts to their snack after school. A handful every day or even every other day provides so many supportive nutrients for their heart, gut, brain and even fighting inflammation. These are the perfect addition to an after-school snack," Kim Shapira, RDN, owner of the Kim Shapira Method and member of the Dietitians for Healthier America, said in a statement.
