Tasty, filling, quick AND healthy? 

If you’re still searching for the perfect snack, this is an episode you’re going to LOVE.

My guest and I do a deep dive on pili nuts – one of the healthiest nuts on the planet – and one of my personal favorites! 

You’ll hear from Jason Thomas, the founder of Pili Hunters, a sustainable food company aiming to reshape the food industry one nut at a time.

Jason shares how he built an incredibly successful company with just 15 pounds of deep-fried pili nuts and a dream. We also discuss the benefits of pili nuts – and how having just a handful a day could support your health.
